Natural Disasters


I blew into your life like a hurricane
and you tore through mine
like an earthquake
both of us the unexpected 
I whisked apart everything you knew 
blew through all your certainty 
your safety 
your sanity 
your security 
I uprooted everything you thought 
tossed it around 
I was the epitome 
of a human disaster 
walking into your life 
I never wanted to be 
I'm sorry 
you cracked the very foundations 
I stood on 
shattered what I knew 
what I trusted 
what I felt 
what was me 
you ripped apart my life at the seams 
left me with splinters 
wondering why it had to be you 
that got me to feel again 
you fractured my very being 
put another crack in my heart 
but you did not destroy me 
and I am not sorry
