One word

One word was all it took. It was like a thousand falling bricks hit me at the same time, square in the face. I felt their impact, felt my face crumble and the tears. It took a second and felt a lifetime. All she did was say my name.

I was broken before. I was responsible for most of it. I felt. I feel. I fall apart. But I was good. I was fading slowly into casuality. I was drifting down a river of "yeah, whatevers" and ignoring those deeper thoughts. All she did was say my name.

The flood of memory was intense. The flood of emotion was indescribable. Now it's already faded. Or, maybe a bit more honest with myself, it never fades. I just place it where I can deal with it. Where it shouldn't belong but does. All she did was say my name.

And all I did was fall to pieces.

It's been a long year
Since you've been gone
I've been alone here
I've grown old
I fall to pieces, I'm falling
Fell to pieces and I'm still falling

Every time I'm falling down
All alone I fall to pieces

I keep a journal of memories
I'm feeling lonely, I can't breathe
I fall to pieces, I'm falling
Fell to pieces and I'm still falling

All the years I've tried
With more to go
Will the memories die
I'm waiting
Will I find you
Can I find you
We're falling down
I'm falling
