A Million Ways

Dropping like a piece of crystal,

Or shot, straight through with a hot pistol,

A stone thrown into a still pond,

Shattering reflections far beyond,

A spell broke on a single, simple word,

A note in a song, never to be heard,

When laughter is cut prematurely short,

Or a chocolate is missing in the assort,

Yellow daisy in a field of white,

A lonely chick that never took flight,

Left, alone, beaten and scared,

Just a bumblebee not knowing you cared,

Wishes never answered, never heard,

The loss of a heart, now transferred,

Tumbling, tripping, missing star above,

Just a million ways to shatter love.
