Simplistic Reasonings

It only takes a single second
For your world to tumble around you,
Your castles to crumble,
Your dreams to collapse,
Your equilibrium to be irreparably shaken

It only takes a single breath
To make you choke,
Sink to the bottom,
Lose existance in a watery grave,
When you're living underwater

It only takes a single cut
To wound so very deeply
That healing takes a lifetime,
Sometimes an eternity,
When the knife is held by a friend

It only takes a single line
For sanity to be abandoned,
Common sense declared void,
Obsession to overwhelm,
As you blindly jump off the deep end

It only takes a single look
Etched permanently on your heart
Causing skipped heartbeats,
Hidden smiles, simple euphoria
Secrets too sweet to be shared

It only takes a single kiss
For any question to be erased,
Any doubt or what ifs
To be buried in magic
When two souls collide

To belittle the seemingly insignificant second,
Breath, cut, line, look or kiss
Is the ultimate folly
These are the moments that shape our lives.
