And It All Came Tumbling Down : Adult Poetry

And It All Came Tumbling Down

Jack and Jill took a pill

To forget about their problems

Jack lost his job

His wife left

But Jack still hasn’t hit bottom

Jack and Jill look to score

And care about nothing else

Jill abandoned her kids

They’re in foster care

Because, she cannot find herself

Jack and Jill met on the streets

Where now they both reside

Sharing needles

Carrying disease

Needs devoured their pride

Jack fell down one bitter night

Jill went wild with laughter

He could go no lower

Jack's dead

And Jill is tumbling after.
