Collapsing

My best friends,
My brother,
My old friends,
Even my mother.
Turning backs on me,
Leaving me so far behind,
Like my world's collapsing on around me,
But leaving me inside.

Everywhere I turn people begin to leave,
Like walls beginning to fall inwards,
Like bicycles falling in a row,
Like gazelle are chasing the leopards.
This is not how life should go,
It can't be the right way,
Am I the only one to feel this?
That everywhere she looks life is empty?

I feel like people are changing,
I look at pictures and I don't know who is in them anymore,
Like I go into my own house,
But there is nothing but a door.
I can't put into words the way all this makes me feel,
Everyone leaving me,
I feel like I don't have anything,
Like all there is, is collapsing.

But I'm still inside ...

[Eric Cox]

A poem of deep sadness because of others that is creatively penned.
Nicely done write.
