dedicated to civil wars.

Calls her adorable
Makes the heart happy
Opposite of that
Living, throbbing, pulsing
House and central nervous system
Alive and dead
Can't think
No sense
Everything has a reason
A season
Can't predict
Is it okay to smile today
How is she
When you walk through the door
What was she like this morning
Any moment
Ducking heads
The bomb could drop
Tense
Guts roiling
Any safe place for now
Can't do it anymore
Time
Time to go
Time to leave
Time to walk out
Is it
Is it time
Walking away
Falling out
Bottom dropping beneath their feet
The world
Everything is wreckage
No sense
Crash
Burn
Can't
Will I be lost in the debris
Will I be free
Time
It's time
I have to leave this place
