Domino Effect Poem by Sandra jacks

Domino Effect



Loss of breath,
shaking violently,
like a drug addict,
like someone that can't get free.

You can see it in their eyes,
the want,
the pain,
it's all overcoming,
finishing why they came.

but looking at them,
looking at the people,
it breaks me down,
within this steeple.

Within me,
there's a broken person too,
but it doesn't look so broken,
it looks more like you.

just one more breath,
just one less tear,
perhaps life,
isn't quite so near.

Perhaps the future,
really doesn't matter,
at all,
perhaps I'm the domino effect,
if I do,
we all fall.

Love this Sandra, I wrote one with similar name - not sure if it's still in my postings. The final stanza of this one is superb. Just those last 3 lines speak volumes. HG: -) xx
