Twists and Turns

it was somewhere during that first day of never gonna happen

when the blinders suddenly blew off,

now faced with the stark reality of what is

all she could do was laugh

blind-sided, she turned and looked back

deep into the recesses of 

what was left of her once functioning mind,

desperately seeking that place where life held out dreams

without strings 

daffodils and butterfly wings,

where smiles were found 

and now

gone without a trace 

blown to smithereens 

it was never supposed to end like this

fragmented conversations wrapped around  

caustic comments

snide remarks,

senseless accusations

manifesting out of nowhere

when you thought all was well,

and peace was your friend.

knocking you back two steps, when you were already down

and it was all you could do, to breathe

as you scraped  back to reality

grasping for anything to pull you away

from the nightmare that jumped out,

front and center

whatever happened to comfort and safety

warm nights around the fire,

toasting the future with glasses of red

and that future was ours to believe

nothing was impossible

until this...
