Big Bang

A poem describing the effect one person can have on another...take from it what you will

You left me.

You left my mind a

faltering

incoherent

muddled

incongruous

jumbled up wreck that

I can't even begin

to sort through.

You left my heart a

shattered

crushed

demolished

destroyed

collapsed mess that

I can't even think

to put back together.

You left my life a 

worthless

meaningless

pointless

despicable

empty waste of energy that

I can't even try

to deal with.

You starved me until

I was small enough to consume

And you spit me back out

So that I am now

Just one unrecognizable monstrosity.

You were the Big Bang,

Leaving behind layers upon layers of debris.

Once that debris is wiped away, however,

It will reveal something changed,

And I pray to God that that change

Will be for the better.

For now, I spend my pitiful days

Picking up the shards of whatever

I once had in me

And placing them back where they seems to fit,

In a mosaic that's too premature to tell

If it's art or garbage.

Great composition! The words are piercing and brutally true. This piece is so underrated. It deserves a lot more.

Thank you so much, it means a lot! Wow, never have I received such a compliment as "underrated," as if my work deserves...more. That's incredible, it made my day. Thank you.

I felt like this years ago..this piece is gut-wrenching for me and brilliantly written.
