Should Have


What if we did run away

Is my head screwed on right

What if I had pulled our picture out of a moving box

Instead of the pile of things you gave back

My ring finger feels heavy when I think of you

And it gives me hope

Im not a monster on the inside

Just a little girl 

Who is afraid of misstepping 

So she missteps and stumbles and falls and hurts

But stands back up

And I hate you for not helping
