Crash
I crash landed in an open field
 I touched down on the soft tall grass
 The ground, however, did not yield
 And hit, I did very fast
 
 It didn’t hurt as it should
 Smashing face first on solid ground
 Cushioning as much as it could,
 The grass muffled the pain-filled sound
 
 Where I came from was a blur
 I couldn’t remember where
 Where I was going, I wasn’t sure
 But to the sunset on the horizon I stared
 
 What a sight!
 What a place!
 Wonderful night,
 I felt its embrace
 
 I crash landed in an open field.
 Where I came from, I couldn’t tell.
 Using the gorgeous night sky as my shield,
 I saw where I had fell.
 
 And I thought to myself in truth,
 “What ever happened to you?”
 And the answer, mocking as it was
 Whispered to me, “Just because,”
 
 “You fell from the sky
 Around nine-oh-nine,
 And it was ‘cause of a boy you knew
 
 He had bright blue eyes
 And hair that shined
 And yes, fell hard, did you.”
