If You Break Me
If you break me
I do not stop working,

If you lose me
Nothing will matter.

Two Words Is My Answer
Two words is my answer. In order to keep me, you have to give me. What am I?
Your word.
A Final Screech
I saw a strange creature,
Long, hard, and straight,
Thrusting in a round, dark, opening,
Preparing to discharge its load of lives,
Puffing and squealing noises accompanied it,
Then a final screech as it slowed and stopped.

A subway train.
