Smears

Danger lurks in the air. You push it away. Far in the distance.
Your mind urges...don't do it. You don't know what's out there.
But your heart... Oh, your heart...how it clings fast.
Remind me, my sweet.

Frostbitten toes....wandering souls.
The desolate future, or is that merely a mirage?
Forbidden to love, truly love.
Because of something that was taken away from you in a past life.

Define past life. Was that yesterday? Or, was it years ago?
Today is the only day that really counts, anyway.
Right?
Define counts.

Tears, breaking free, fall onto the keyboards of life.
Broken, you say?
Not eternally....just for today.
Everyone is lost and broken.

Everyone is normal. In their own world.
