Crippling
How crippling life may be
when gnarled thoughts
and broken dreams
leave you stunted
into silence
She was a dazzling bloom
a daffodil amongst thorns
until the wheels of life
trampled her
into the ground
Leaving me alone
with pictures and memories
and silent, pent up tears
trying so hard to accept
the absence of her smile
How crippling life may be
when everything you admired
is gone

Crippling
How crippling life may be
when gnarled thoughts
and broken dreams
leave you stunted

She was a dazzling bloom

until the wheels of life

Leaving me alone
with pictures and memories
and silent, pent up tears
trying so hard to accept
the absence of her smile
How crippling life may be
when everything you admired
is gone
