The Blackout

Aug 05, 2008 - 00:25 AM PST

Blackout strikes and glass hope shatters
Hands full, steps tentative,
Darkness and confusion convene
To trip her tightrope walk.

Shock leads to panic leads to pain leads to perception
Intention was unknown, result was undeniable.

This was no chance failure,
Not with the pulled plug in his hand
Right after she let her guard down
And accepted his arm as a crutch.

Planned with pilots' precision,
He extinguished the lights
Just as her blind eyes gained the courage to see.
Plunging her back into darkness.

Her vision will re-focus
She will pick up the broken glass
The cuts will heal, the hurt will fade.

The score will eventually even.
