Sarah Jones Poet Rhyme

Crashing Down

Dancing round the arena
Trying to escape the fact
That this show can't make me happy
And this dance is just an act

People sighing irritably
As I desperately try
To recreate the atmosphere
This can no more supply

Defeated I stand still
Watching expectations fail
The lights go up and so
Back to the car I trail

My friend drives cautiously
Through the midnight traffic's snare
But we're tired and disappointed
And forget how to beware

So slowly then I witness
A lorry clips her car
And we go spinning sluggishly
At eighty miles an hour

It's like a fairground ride
Crashing into metal walls
These could be my last moments
And I do not care at all

And when this deadly crash occured just like I'd always dreamed
There's a reason why I didn't gasp and why I never screamed
And when the doctor told me "Easily you could have died"
There's a reason why I didn't gape and why I never cried.
