the confetti on the wall played with my mind
with the i's dotted
everything tipped over
no one ever said that it would be fragile
as a result, I am forced to pay
my jaw was bruised because I slipped
I swear, I would do it all over again
a vow between us stays in my heart
forever

Nice abstract I think you did well with your metaphors and also the image. It feels like betryal and yet for the sake of what was best for that person to me. I don't know, just what came to me reading this. Great job Kari
