Bake the Cake
A poem
Fallen angels behind broken glass
Tattered hearts dissolve into the wind
as the days first light comes into view
You can see the whispers in the frost
on the leaves that gave their last dance
Moments left unsaid
Hearts left untouched
Time passes you by like the noon train filled with people going
s o m e w h e r e
Trying to grab moments that are not ours leaves your heart feeling unwanted
Sitting on your hands while life happens makes your chest ache
If only I had a manual for life
If only there were directions, I could follow
Maybe then, I would stop falling on my face
and bake the dam cake
