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.
