i bought myself eleven red roses. pick one for me, would you?

i watch the couple in front of me. she has a beautiful smile and on her lap is a crossword puzzle. he smiles when she gets it right and it doesnt bother him that she guesses before he does. she does not intimidate him how could she she lays her head on his shoulder and she has a beautiful smile. she glances at me and she looks at the roses and she smiles and i smile and i bought myself red roses today.

she has samples of painkillers, she tears them open one by one and throws the pieces on the floor and i look in her eyes and i see the anger and the pain and the hate. she feels fat and ugly and tired she swallows the pills and i look down i escape her gaze i am not judging you i am feeling you throw away everything scream it all out make a scene just let it go

the handsome boy with the navy blue t-shirt and "Honorary Oooompa Looompa" printed in white. he lays his head against the window he may be thirteen but he looks a lot older. he smiles at me and even his smile seems sad and old why are you not happy what's bothering you are you going to see the game tonight then why arent you excited

why do people smile at me am i always the caretaker you asked and i said yes it's a gift it is not me i was born this way
i can see him, holding her hand and reaching for his keys Rob loves Molly forever and when she wakes up they leave the train she doesnt see what he had said and he smiles as they leave and he kisses her hair
i look at their faces and every single one of them is beautiful every single one of them even that girl there is so much beauty waiting to explode i want to touch her face and move her hair away from her eyes and everything is gonna be alright
it felt like such a perfect day the doors open and then they close and then we slowly move away
