Worlds Collide
someone dropped the snow globe
my world's shattered and nothing holds water
not just a little shake up
the snowman's heart is a hole like someone shot him
how big was the earthquake
no that don't matter
maybe a giant just took a step
I took a step more than I could handle
maybe I was pushed and fell
that would be a scandal
Can't fit into the shoes I could never fill
A snowy microcosm melting in hell
I pick up the pieces of the globe
look out the window see last night it snowed
a shard of glass pierces my heel
I slip back into the shoes I never filled
take a step back and think of seconds before
lost in thoughts of my distress
had knocked my world upon the floor
