Martinsburg
By FlowMyTears
The scorching sun glistens
on the railroad tracks, and
the thick brush overtakes the
woods on the outskirts.
The hillside is littered with
Victorian houses and people
grow sunflowers on their lawns.
It seems like there's no one living
here, the streets are empty.
People had so many dreams for
this town. They wanted bustling
shopping centers, law-abiding,
uptight citizens, but the universe
laughs last.
People here will listen to the
silence, and as it breaks their
sanity, they will seek love
from their sleeping parents.

I was unfair. I question where things come from, you understand?

You can criticize and that's fine with me, but my advice is to be more specific about criticisms towards other people. I actually prefer that people just say whatever they want.

I'll take that into account. You're cute about the way you subvert. I can't abide.
