In the moment

by Amy Jo   Apr 9, 2005


The flick of a red rose
The flash of a naked pose
Jumping from a balcony
Saying goodbye to me

The breaking of a glow stick
The last throw of a karate kick
Risk taking without care
Truth without a dare

Driving without a belt
A candle begins to melt
Electricity goes out
A woman gives a shout

Dropping a final tear
The breaking of a mirror
A brother dying
A bird's first flying

Breaking of a heart
First taste of a sweet tart
Slamming of jail bars
Looking back at bad scars

Closing and locking the door
not saying goodbye anymore
Signed off the computer
Saying you'll never kiss her

Cell phone off for good
Don't know if you should
Hitting the ground from the balcony
Lying alone for all to see
