Seven steps away I watch her crying
resting her head on the steering wheel.
Spiraling out of my grasp
Out of control.
Metal and glass
An impregnable wall.
Trying so hard to feel
But finding nothing.
Falling apart in the parking lot.
Pieces blowing away
Lost to the cold air,
Lost in the city.
Turning back,
Burnt bridges
No escape.
Years wasted
Lessons just being learnt.
