Crash And Burn

Poem Artwork









I fear for you at times..
Always pretending life is fine..
I hear your pain in your laugh..
Do you think you can fool..
The one who fools you?
But you laugh..
.Knowing it's a lie.
.Knowing the pain you try to escape..
Knowing it is to late
to undo what has already been learned..
Smile and laugh
or
crash and burn.
I feel your needs..
Your need to hide..
To feel in control.
.To fool everyone..
Your successful goal..
I want to hold you..
Make this time of pain fly away..
But I am just a friend..
Who knows how you feel..
Who can hear the pain through the laughter..
Even as I laugh with you..
Because it is our way..
To survive or die..
It is to late to undo
what has already been learned..
Smile and laugh..
or
crash and burn.
No tears..
Just smile..
As we cry inside.
.Wish I could take your pain..
I would laugh it away..
I would gladly do this for you my friend..
To save you from the fate I fear..
That one day your laughs
Will turn into tears..
Then I will know ..
It is to late to undo
what has already been learned..
Too late to save you..
as you crash and burn.

I'll echo Jerry's comment and hope no one crashes and burns.

Oh, maybe your prediction will not come true. Maybe whoever it is you wrote so eloquently about will "fine" his/her way.
