Guessing failure succeeded again
Hardtop veneer remains intact
No great surprise, no mystery
Acts of charity couldn't crack it
Occasionally tears bleed through
Send it away, laugh it off
A hand-me-down intimacy shield
Eventually light kills the moth
Please unplug this pinball heart
Growing weary of the feeling
This bumper car has a flat again
Growing dizzy from the reeling
Then consider the tortured mind
An unapologetic vice grip
No capacity for letting go
Couldn't even make the trip.
