- Hit and Run, Crash and Burn -
This year is a hit and run, crash and burn
The job scraped the bottom and the injuries touched the high
I turned in the badge and the dreams
I lost the family and the friends
But it hurt
Not the loss, it is a second skin to me now
But the continuance of doing my job
Of keeping up the façade
Of fooling those I loved
So to my mother and my brother McQuaid, co-workers too
I'm sorry this year hit me down
I'm sorry I've run away
I did not intend to crash my car and my life and make you burn with me
I apologize, but I can't come back, not yet
Don't miss me or mourn me, for I'm not dead
Just alone, by myself, and I promise to come back when this year is done
This year is a hit and run, crash and burn
Next year is a jump start, a flash and a laugh… I promise
A/N: Hate it or love it, please tell me. I don't often write poetry, so I hope I did ok and you understand it. Accept all forms of reviews, just need constructive criticism.
