Almost Gone

Every time I trust,
It's broken by someone.

Every time I love,
I'm crushed.

I walk across the street,
Thinking about my troubles.

A car passes,
I hit the side, and my life flashes.

Almost gone,
But very much alive, I am.

Almost gone,
But no bruises or scratches.

Almost gone,
My troubles should be.
