this is how the world falls apart (you're to blame)
dmartin

Did you want the epitome, the solace quiet of a funeral,
 1
the way the tears awkwardly fall
 2
and you search for the one person
 3
who is looking for you, to confirm others hurt too.
 4
At story’s end, no one concluded a war of the worlds,
 5
not this way, a fuse lit at both ends
 6
where the crossfire left those who were innocent
 7
suddenly feeling guilty for being there.
 8
 
 
The parts of the world broke into more parts of the world,
 9
and a puzzle formed that God himself
 10
didn’t want to piece together,
 11
clearly it was our turn to decide the fate.
 12
Just like Him, we began to make the effort,
 13
and gave up somewhere near half way,
 14
I saw you thinking to yourself that it wasn’t worth it,
 15
the remains of the war would have to do.
