Tragic Love

By Stacia Long

Tears gathering
In his eyes
Door slamming
Car racing
The feel of the
Sharp thick
Broken glass
Frantic phone call
Police sirens
Adrenaline pumping
Heart racing
Fire around
The heat of hell closing in
Accidental
Hospital smell
Menthol
Ammonia
Charred skin
Rain drops
Falling into buckets
Star-crossed lovers
Cars racing
Blood dripping
Sweat sliding down
His arms
Punches thrown
One goes falling
Alice and Wonderland
A world of
Chaos
And confusion
Love me if you dare
