All at Once
it's funny that life likes to fall apart
all at once
like it's tired of itself just as much
like it's exhaling for the first time
a deep breath held in
sweeping you away in the howl of its wind
It's funny that when we fall apart
we try so hard to hang onto the seams
we tend to tear a deeper gash
still feigning shock when we bleed
It's funny how life likes to fall apart
all at once
like it's its way of having fun
like for every "why me?"
it has to kick you in the ass a little harder
noting that time only asked to exist as much as you did
