Collapse

As a building falls. First it rumbles. A piece of the foundation crumbles and cracks. The structure gasps As if it were bitten. Unexpected. It gets one last gasp Before collapse. When your world falls. It first loses its' meaning, The fruit of life is Exasperated from existence. You let too much in. It couldn't take. It. Too strong. You. Too weak. Too impure. You long for the end With no avail. So now your world seeks Collapse. When mankind falls. It starts to crumble. As we lose sight of what's real. It fractures as we misplace Truth and myth. It loses stability As we lose sanity. But it holds firmly in place. Awaiting its end. Revelations. But I must admit. They're right, The end is near. Not today though. Maybe tomorrow. But do they expect it would it be So neat? An expiration date. Too simple. Like a demolition. First a rumble. Then a crack. Gasp. Collapse.
