He was my white picket fence.

I laid out each plank

With a peace of my heart,

And kissed each one

Sealing it with my soul.

I called him over.

Come look at my fence!

And he came and took one look

And smashed my

White picket fence

To pieces.

I was left standing

Staring

At the bleeding splinters,

Breathless.

Not wanting to pick them up.

My white picket fence

Lies in ruins

And you don’t even see

The gasping shards.
