Crumbled and faded,
Sheets of words,
Lay by the feet,
Mocking imagination
Because sometimes,
Working hard isn’t enough.
Fractured and bruised,
Screams in the air,
Stuck in a loop.
Because sometimes,
Patience isn’t enough.
Broken and disfigured,
Bloodied by loss,
Abandoned for love,
Because sometimes,
Time heals no one.
