Broken
Broken
Poetry by
Kevin Bowersox
lungs once filled with spring well with blood empty like promise falling to ground cracked with groundless trust so simple so pure so misplaced gone ripped away like band-aid on skinned knee so lovingly applied so cruelly removed one sharp sting fast to fade is best but this one is the last there is no normal now there is no better now there is no bigger now there is no future now this betrayal is the last gone too soon gone too fast bullets where hearts beat excited to play learn grow bullets where minds marveled where hands built and drew
bullets where love grew
bullets where love grew
where love grew only smoke and bullets
