Broken Bones and Broken Hearts

Life is like a train track

and you are a train.

You're just chugging along

With no clue what's ahead.

Many other trains are on this

odd track of life.

Such as Jobs, Children,

Bills, and Love.

They're speeding ahead, straight

towards you, planning

to crash and derail you

and make your trip worse.

Love comes chugging along,

and it stops in front of you.

It starts pulling you back,

helping you on the way.

Then, slowly, its speed matches yours,

Then it starts pushing you back,

then it derails you, leaving you

ith broken bones and a broken heart.
