.the.crime.

they say that when you do the crime,
you do the time..

but if this is true,
what kind of time does love entitle you to?

a lifetime of smiles, joy, and kisses,

or

a lifetime of what ifs ,tears, and wishes.

what if that lifetime..was done in the hole?
leaving one's heart and mind to rot in that mold?

is it too late...
to turn back the hands of tyme?

to start it all over...
beginning with that pick up line?

or are you better off alone..
not taking the risks that a lifetime sentence withholds.

can you handle that burning..that heartbreak sets fire..
the backstabbing, cheating, open mouths of liars?

when you look in the nightsky,
do you see what could be?

the handholding or heartbreak,
that could end so miserably.
