How did you do it?
to remain unscathed
when the pedastal I placed you on
crumbled beneath you

maybe I was in shock
or I still cared enough
to place a pillow for you
to land on
never noticing
the falling pedastal
was landing on me

so here I am
beneath the shattered pile
of hopes and dreams and happy memories
no longer allowing myself
to look at them fondly

tainted
with the events that were to come
somehow staining the events of the past

my rose colored glasses
meant only for you
knocked off in the falling rubble
crushed beside me

but you are fine.
walking away
from the destruction you have
prehaps unknowingly created

and my voice is silenced
beneath this broken pillar
but it doesn't matter
because I do not ask for help
I know you will not give it
you have already walked away
leaving everything - broken - behind
