The writing is on the wall
And the wall is falling hard
Tumbling without any regard
Crashing down years of tears
Crushing every dream
Nothing to be salvaged
Destruction all around

The looming crack  realized
I did not make the repair
I watched it's deterioration
Helpless of how to restore

So I let it crumble
Watched it take it's toll
Did not try to save it
Helped to meet it's demise
Threw stones at it hard
Trying to make it quick

Now I lay in a heap
Paralyzed under it's weight
Screaming to be let free
No one hears
Caught in the rubble
Smoke still rising
Life quickly fades

Seen it coming
Acted little too late
No turning back now
As I sit amongst the ruins

I hear your cries. If I could pull you from that pain I would quickly do so. I've only recently pulled myself from that sufficating weight, and the freedom is a overwhelming feeling. I hope you can do the same. It's funny how we know that it's comming, and merely sit back and wait. I really love this piece. hope to read and relate to some more.
