sparks
in time
led us here
in our broke down car
with a bent fender
at least we know where
the sparks
came from
and died off of
letting you go
is like letting the string slip
and watching red disappear beyond blue
it still takes my breath away
but i am searching
in this big terminal titled
life
and i am eyeing the luggage
like it might match up
to what i carry around
and label baggage
in this life
one thing holds true
you are only as good as the company you keep
and darling
you would never
have noticed me
if i hadnt you first
so be ok with that
and settle down

Great job!! I love the play on words and the images you paint in this ... movement and loss have a sense of freedom here ... I like that

and watching red disappear beyond blue
it still takes my breath away
that took my breath away
one thing holds true
you are only as good as the company you keep
and darling
you would never
have noticed me
if i hadnt you first
so be ok with that
and settle down
that part was sad but funny too
