Kelly Martin Poems

I know I said I'd jump in front of a gun for you,
But here I am aiming it at myself.
Because I can't live my life being your number two,
While I watch you love someone else.
...

I'm swinging in this one way battle,
No matter the strength, I'll never win the war.
It's like your mind is set - it won't rattle,
And I'm left here to tally the score.
...

You felt like home...
But I was always homesick.
I switched my round flight to a one-way,
In hopes you wouldn't notice.
...
