"If life were a cool bowl of jell-o..."

The walls were being ripped down around us

by our hands-

no one elses.

We were out for blood; you and I.

 

And the kids were the next thing to go.

Door-jams are replaceable,

but childhoods?

These don't come easy,

and I hate to say it but

nothing is worth that.

 

Not all the kings horses

or all the kings men

would have been enough

to put us together again.

Such a pity,

when broken things can't mend.
