Snapped

By TheUltimateOutlaw

Sudden meltdown of steel beams;
Synapses snapped
Skittering… Sparks across a dream
That leaves
Fresh blood and
Electric
In its path.
Shaky in the moon light; Unhinged
And left of center.
A heretic amid the
Copacetic;
In lieu of beauty…
The ebb and flow of
Failure;
In light of innocence…
The hit or miss of
Love.
Sudden breakdown in syntax;
Stumbling
Across the tightrope;
The landscape a blur…
Skittering…
Throwing sparks
In your path.
