I see tomorrow, born from death

When death steal your tomorrow
leaving you with more questions than sorrows
What is life, so fragile, no time to waste
who am I, where do I belong, where is my space?

Memories painting a picture against the wall

Concussion

looming at me she's smiling

swerving to keep her at bay

I crossed double white lines

after that things went grey

 

waking in her brawny arms

she whispers words of love

how we were fated to meet

the way we fit hand in glove
