you were a perfect ten on the richter scale there were no warnings about the destruction you'd cause no one was ever ready for you, especially me.
loving you was like kissing along the san andreas fault line and praying i don't strike a nerve loving you was like pretending the splitting earth was only opening itself up to me and not trying to bury me.
notice how the world shutters when it thinks of you notice how there's cracks in everything you touched notice how there's still parts of me buried beneath the rubble
somebody told me i needed to assess the damage and all i could think about was all those shattered picture frames.
the aftershock hits hardest in the places that remind me of you
i still believe there's something beautiful about nature, just not human nature - just not your nature.
