A Life so Brittle


A life So Brittle


Today
she came
to share
her laughter rare.

Her heart
she poured out
like there’s
no tomorrow.

Strange!
We knew
she was a person
depressed
with problems
excess.

Normally,
She was
a quiet lady.
But today
she was
unusually
happy.

The next day,
My God!
She was gone.
In the dark
without looking
left and right
she crossed
a busy road.

A car
with a demon
behind
the wheel
mowed her,
and she
was gone
forever.
