Falling Apart
You vowed to protect me
But in the end, you hurt me the most
I’m falling apart
Seeing them walk out
Tears streaming down their faces
Unsure of what’s going on
Heart pounding, blood racing
Seeing lips move, but not hearing words
I’m falling apart
Wiping away tears as they roll down my face
You promised to never make me cry
But now I can’t seem to stop
You took my heart with you
I’m falling apart
And I can’t seem to pick up the pieces
I walk into the church, wiping tears away
Everyone is there
Including you
But I can’t bring myself to look at you
Scared it will break me further
I’m falling apart
Crying as you are escorted out
Wanting to stand together as we leave
But this time
You leave in a coffin
Leaving me to fall apart by myself
This piece was written about my grandma who died 6 years ago on this Thanksgiving. I wrote this to honor her memory. I hope you enjoy this poem as much as I did.
