Falling

Tibsa, 10th - Berkley, MI

it’s weird to watch the two people you love the most completely separation 
it’s a slow fall that starts with one argument 
turns into a series of useless banters
the elephant in the room, picking
i’ve learned to ignore pretty well 
not my fault i’m always told 
but it’s present nevertheless
weekly turns into daily
my idea of love shifts 
what made it shatter 
actually, no
what combination 
of things 
broke our lives 
into 2 pieces 
a downhill staircase.
