this bond

this bond was so much more
it was the strongest love i know
deep enough to survive hurricanes.
but now, all these memories
are being washed away
like chalk drawings on the sidewalk
trampled over and faded.
all these memories are being washed away
and i don‘t understand:
was this bond an illusion
a fata morgana to a dehydrated mind?
or am i the tsunami
that broke everything
without knowing it -
without wanting to?
