Notes About The Poem

No Smile

Starving little turtle
Cracked eggshells
Lost relationships
Broken dreams
Falling teeth
Death opens the door
Train departs from platform
No one
Waves of emotions
No more

This one has it's own meaning " Death opens the door". When one starts hitting an age that they feel the door coming open it is frightening :( good write. Hugs sweet friend
