Senseless
Without sense
Without reason
I held onto that
Burning ember
As though
It would save me
Instead of melting
Straight through
My heart
I squeezed it
Between my fingers
Refusing vehemently
To let go
No matter how much
Pain it caused
No matter how much
I hated myself
I couldn't
Release the only thing
That made me feel
Alive
Empathy For an Airbag by Poetically-Yours, literature
Literature
Empathy For an Airbag
Empathy For an Airbag
The air bag
The peacekeeper
The shock absorber
The crumple zone
The part that buckles
Buffers
Cushions
Collapses
Completely
Incidentally
Consequentially
Crusting
Rusting
Busting
Disgusting
Thank God
No one
Was hurt
