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
