What's the point of getting stronger When I break down so easily over you

So Easily
Tumbling walls whispering tears — the sound of fallen walls in the rain, _closing remarks to the echoes of pain._ Tossed red dust's disappearing pieces — still what we've built for ourselves - _are all these foundations to remain._

How strong do these walls stand
# *When you are Loved, and so deeply cared for; There is nowhere to run..   Nowhere to hide The only thing you can do (under the warmth of that beautiful Hold)      Is to slowly unwind..      Until  you  Become. It is already in you, Love.. buried behind the horrible Residual. Remember..? Within the soon to crumble Wall.. within the Corruptible, that was so unfairly and horribly      corrupted Is the  absolutely Beautiful  in you that has been  (and always will be)      Incorruptible .. preciously-Hidden, behind the wall "It is Incorruptible.. It cannot undergo Decay" You are in there, sweet-one    buried underneath every horrible part of it all.       As the wall comes down..*       Love will find you.    *When allowed,    it always, always does.* #

"..of that which Remains"
As I become undone My threads untangle Every little knot unraveling Their stories lost Memories fade Images drown in static I succumb to little needles Pricking every surface of my skin While a song seeps from my throat And leaks onto the dusty floor Alone on creaky hardwood In a dark Dim Crumbling Home

Crumbling
Was it you, who burned a city At my fingertips? I’ll blame it On the rampaging fire wildflowers Suffocating California. Either way, I cannot breathe. What haunts me? It’s you, isn’t it. The 12-33, code 12-56, No help is coming, “Refusal to comply” morphs to “missing persons,” reporting The silence. The screech, the blip Of a scanner, seeing red, Like I could hear the pain Of a few thousand shaken children Who lost Their mothers To a cloud of noxious smoke. That’s what haunts me. Isn’t it. Children, charred and homeless, Roaming crumbling streets. That’s what haunts me.

___Better to stand on my own two clay feet, than bolster someone else’s crumbling tarsals and fallen arches.___

Infatuation
My heart is heavy, my bones trembling. Help me, I'm in need of mending. Broken body, shattered soul- I'm crumbling, but no one knows...

Crumbling
Together we crumble Under our own heaviness surrounded by fumes that make our souls tremble cemented together demented away living in this toxicity we perspire nothing but love we require.

TOGETHER
my heart is a warzone, and you invaded just so you could attack. you were never careful about how you treated me, you just wanted to cause as much destruction as you could and then retreat. but i will soldier on, pretending everything is okay, although the scorched earth around me is crumbling and burning. but everything is okay, its okay.

heartbreak warfare
In front of my eyes My greatest fears arise Everything I thought I knew Has got up and flew To far away lands It's all slipping through my hands Plans I had made Are now beginning to fade My already broken life Continues to tear me up inside This news has left me trembling And now my life is crumbling

Crumbling
The tenuous sense of self is crumbling In a gentle breeze of slight rejection, Whose worth is broken by extreme humbling So breaking true self’s the self’s protection. Breaking down instead of standing strong Means the world must clean up all your pieces. Even when the self feels the self is wrong And the will to hold yourself releases. The human soul is stronger than the hand. The self survives outside a lover’s grip. When you crumble you need to understand Your own love is the greatest partnership. You never considered how much trouble It is to find heartbeats in the rubble.

Sonnet To The Crumbled Sense Of Self
Skin on skin, Tracing each other’s bodies with gentle fingers, Grabbing with needy hands, Wanting each other a little less. Emptying our souls, Light being cast away, Love wasn’t here. No, Love was an illuminating star. Our definition of love was like the crumble of earth, Letting it fall through the cracks of our fingers, Dissipating. Diminishing. Delirious. We didn’t make love, No, We made numbing promises within our bodies. Our temple, Our beloved temple, We forgot the structure of which it sat upon and now, Crumbling like the earth, It collapsed. It fell and it caved and it hurt. It hurt like hell. Our bodies continued to collide, To touch, To grind against one another, But we did not complain. Feeling physical was the only thing that kept us feeling at all.

We Thought it Was Love
Made me feel beautiful Yet sometimes hideous too Held my confidence in your hand It crumbled when we fell through

Crumbling Confidence
Dear Colors, you are oh, so bright, Shining, glowing, beautiful. So why must you become so dull, When I need you to shine brightest? When my world is crumbling, Or when life is just plain hard, I'd like it, dear colors, If you'd shine the brightest, When I can't.

Dear Colors,
Oh, how our petals fall from the depths of our eyes; the reminiscence of our small and warmly stricken sky. Oh, how it crumbles mutely striking hard upon the earth; the ground now bleeds acutely and still, we drown in mirth.

Mirth
I am losing myself Everything is crumbling shattering snd scattering. Masks are coming off Truth is coming to light. Fake ones start to claim their identity and people are leaving, the ones I thought wouldn’t leave. The light escapes me and dull colors swift past me. I have lost my care I have lost my love Lost my innocence And lost my guilt. Everything that made me, me Is now gone. So tell me, is it me who you’re looking for? Because that girl is breathing no more.

Losing my identity
Wish upon a star And watch the constellations crumble under greed

Haiku for the Heavens
Don’t you worry darling, Now’s not the time for fears; Don’t you fret my darling, For I will dry your tears. Though the world may crumble ‘round us And though the sky may fall, Don’t be sad my darling, For I’m not sad at all. You’re all I ever wished for And all I’ve ever loved, You are my joy, my guiding light, My sun in skies above. So now that shadows threaten, I’ll be your light in turn, And if the world is ending, Together we will burn.
