Black Ice

Black Ice Hobbes Her love is a gamble true, Just like driving on black ice. Be careful or else she'll scorn you, So take a chance and roll the dice. Should you fail, your soul will suffice, But victory will taste so nice, She'll fool you, not once but twice. She'll take your eyes and rob you blind, So look inside, I'm sure you'll find, That the truth that you seek is near. Just take the wheel for now you steer. Don't drive too fast, just take it slow, Black ice is a killer, you know. Don't loose control, keep steady hands, Hold on untill you reach the sands. She'll kill you once in body and soul, Score one more up for her kill tole. When day fades to night you shall see, The monster that is truley she. And only then will you be free. A fickle friend the fates are true, Three oracles to squak at you. Like backseat drivers they never quit, but you just put up with their fits. Untill one day, your death they see, And you see how wrong they can be. Now you're spinning out of control, You've seen it too, you know your role. Now off a cliff and into the sea, Forever silent they shall be. Freedom always costs some price, This often comes with your vice, And your life may seem so nice, But you're always driving on black ice.

Calvin, this is a chilling write, that I find interesting and empowering, yet cynical. I love a piece that makes me think, and this one did. Welcome to the SOUP! Donna
