Once Again


It hits her Hard
Like falling on concrete after 
slipping on an ice covered road.
Every time she tries to get up she
just keeps slipping, and always 
finds herself back on the ground.
And that is when the ice melts
And her smile cracks 
When the butterflies in her 
stomache turn into something
evil and try to swim up her 
throat but get stuck there
for a couple of moments before
they get stuck behind the solid
glass behind her eyes.
It is there where they tap 
at that window until the 
glass breaks and the 
flood pours out of the
openings, and she is 
unexplainably crying,
Once Again.
