In Pieces

*For Ally*

She throws her life away
After each disappointment
In pieces
Watches them swirling
Around and Around
Heart pounding
Breath catches
For just a moment
She's praying the pieces go down
As the colors mix
There's an emptiness growing
From deeper within
She takes small, fragile refuge
In hollow fulfillment
Admire her numbness to pain
The colors are gone
Only darkness remains
As her life all in pieces
Escapes down the drain
