I do not collect broken people.
I don't go around to shelters and say
Tell me your story!
I'm here to listen and to care for you
[because no one else will]
Tell me what happened
And I won't judge you
I won't blame you
Because your short was too short your heels were too high your feet showed too much you had on too much make up you drank a lot you let me buy you a drink you flirted with me you don't have the right to say no hold still you fucking bitch or I'll cut your throat I'll tell everyone what a slut you are I'll dance on your grave while I laugh at your funeral while me and my buddies laugh about how easy it was to get your legs apart
it wasn't your fault
I don't collect broken people
I don't really have to
There's so many of them
You just have to sit still
and listen.
Their voices are like leaves on a soft fall day
I'm sorry don't notice me why are they looking it's all my fault it's all my fault my parents will know my father doesn't love me any more why did I wear that maybe I should stay at home I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I don't collect broken women
They come to me singly
Looking for a friend
Someone who stops to ask
someone who cares
Trying to be whole
When the world around them is broken.
