As keen as a twitching bird-
ready to take flight
As beautiful as a snowdrop-
glistening in this moonlight
Like a shooting star-
Flying across the sky
As fragile as a little girl-
Innocent in the question "Why?"
And so, like an alcoholic come clean
Gradually shatters my life long dream
Seven simple words
I wish I'd never heard
But now I've gone too far, nay-
I tell myself this every day
the world will never go your way
Autumn 2015
