"Life doesn't give you seatbelts!"-Batman, The Lego Movie
“Never close your lips to those whom you have already opened your heart.”--Charles Dickens


Bones break, lips curse

As I ride by in a hearse

Ice cracks, lives fall

When I toss the fatal ball

 

Hope heaves, Earth quakes

Seismic heart caves in and breaks

Walls crash, roads slide

When I mute the ebb of tide

 

Sick scream, blood pours

From the river, through the doors

Slick words slip out

When I shift the foundling’s route

 

My fear of pain

Gliding to my brain again

Heartache swims back

As I’m treading Life’s last track
