Earthquake

There are bonds, I thought would never break,
Only to grow stronger with the years,
But they’ve only proven to be weak,
And dried up as easily as tears.

There are bridges, I thought would never fall
But I found myself singing that song,
I stopped answering your every call,
Everything just felt so wrong.

You and I, we stood beside
But now there’s a huge crack on the floor,
A thin thread that has suddenly gotten so wide,
And I realize, words are just words –broken promises me swore.

The world has shifted, and I find myself opposite you
Seeing you finally in the morning light,
With your every flaw I loved, in full view
But now I don’t feel anything, not even a slight.
