La Dure Vérité

All he could hear was that clock

Tick-tock it mocked

All he thought was why am I here is this too soon?

Two months and three days to be exact

Their icy breaths sent chills along his spine

And Crash!

His bones cracked as he felt his hip collide with the floor

His eyes made way to that red vehicle but too late

All he could see was haze and his little baby Kate

It wasn’t your piece of pink paper anyway

You gave up on life and fled away

It wasn’t your piece of pink paper anyway

You gave up on life and fled away
