We Crumble

 

We built those walls together.
I was unsure and untrusting of change.
“Change is growth” you said.
So I closed my untrusting eyes.

We painted those walls together.
I was uneasy and unconvinced of change.
“Change is good” you said.
So I closed my unconvincing eyes.

We strengthened those walls together.
I was heartbroken and resentful of change.
“Change is strength” you said.
So I closed my resenting eyes.

You tore down those walls alone.
I was hurt and unprepared for change.
“Change is understanding” you said.
So I closed my hurting eyes.

I cleaned up those walls alone.
I was abandoned and hollowed by change.
“Things change” you had said.
So I closed my weary eyes.

I sit amongst these broken walls alone.
I am different and unrecognized by change.
“Change will find me” I say.
And I rest my weary head.
