Avalanche

John Ralston


You took apart my life. 
What'd you find on my insides? 
Pictures of us hung with twine; 
strung from my organs taped and tied. 
You said i would be fine. 
But everyone knows. Every. One. Knows. 

Days spent marking time. 
Marching time. 
Parking fines. 
I wish that I could say "better days" unafraid. 
An avalanche of love buried and broke my trust. 
And everyone knows. Every. One. Knows
