Heart Like a Wheel

Sam sat in her car trying to gather the nerve to talk to Jack. She drove over on sheer adrenaline after the fiasco of looking at that house and now she was shaking. It was now or never. What was the worst that could happen? Well for starters she could be totally humiliated but Jack wouldn't do that to her. Even if there was nothing but the ashes of their lost love left, lord knows she could see the smoke, he still would be kind to her. If nothing else she felt she could always depend on him. And as she reached to turn the ignition off she heard a familiar tune whose words stung.

"Some say the heart is just like a wheel
When you bend it you can't mend it
But my love for you is like a sinking ship
And my heart is on that ship out in mid-ocean."

Sam stepped out of the car, following the wisps of smoke, feeling as though she were stepping into the deep.
