veterans day

by whitehorse

do you want the purple heart?

a piece of metal to prove it?
yes im hurting
cant you see that.

i will pin it on my jacket
scream it from the roof tops

someone hurt ME

and the planets kept spinning.
and the clouds kept moving


and over the roar of the street you confessed
that you still loved him.

and she agreed, that love could stay
and i made a joke.
because the love i know hasnt been taken

and because your answers made me uneasy.
