Please stop hating her.

She draws deepthroat wishes
with every footstep closing
in. She pulls a million years
of baggage tied with lace
to her fingertips. I promised

with her duffel bag and her thoughts and hopes
for a better tomorrow,
for there has to be something better than this,
there must be a reason for her life.
