Breaking Down

Break down
in a crumpled heap
on the icy ground
where minds are lost
and emotions drown
and the world consists of rocking.

Heartbreak
when lies are told
and truth is fake
where forked tongues kiss
and people take
more than what was offered.

Insanity
as if you fell from
the top of the tree
and adding up 
two and two to three
when it really equals four.

Breakdown
in a crumpled heap
on the icy ground
where minds are lost
and emotions drown
and the world consists of rocking.
