Suddenly the city walls
Have started to crumble,
An entire dreamscape
Desecrated
By some unseen hand
Within the space of
Only seconds.
The evidence of this chaos
Is not so violent
In physical form:
Swollen,
Shadowed eyes
And fresh teardrops
Burning down
Color drained cheeks.
But how her chest aches,
That empty cavity
Where her heart used to be,
Caved-in
And collapsed
Just like
The city walls
And the dreams
That once lived
Behind them.
