Scattered

She read the words

And thought she understood 

Their meaning; 

Scribbled with a pen 

Sneaky undertones. 

This unforgiving world

With its cruel misguided rules

Set the perfect stage

For ill intentions

Or so they seem.

Angel face baby

With shaky hands 

And sweaty temples; 

A simple grin

From pretty lips 

That have forgotten

How to form 

Coherent words.

His thoughts turn to her

And then they turn to nothing

As he stares into her

Ever-changing eyes;

What exists today

Will disappear tomorrow

But only maybe 

To return in just a day.

Pick her up 

To lay her down

But not the way they meant it;

The daydreams overcome him

While she sees his pretty face

And it makes her think;

Empty yellow boxes 

Scattered in her brain;

Scribbled words 

On broken paper 

With no lines 

And only tiny holes. 

Take a minute to forget; 

Wash the moments from their skin;

Walking silently through the rain

While cursing at the clouds.

If only you don't ask for it;

Close your eyes

And there it is

Laughing in your face 

As you take that final leap.-
