It All Falls Apart Poem by Sarah matthews

Never again will I doubt anything,
because now knowing that once they're gone,
they're not coming back.
As my family falls apart one by one,
I am trying to catch the pieces in mid-air
so they don't hit rock bottom and shatter
into unfixable pieces.


I just wish that my fmaily could be whole again,
no more fights, no more yelling, and no more
pain. The words that come form the tounge are
sharp enough to cut as deep as a knife,
except these wounds don't heal.
They only get deeper.

Year after year we all leave the house,
leaving each other behind. No longer
keeping in touch and slowly forgeting
who we are and why we did what we did.
And as we grow apart the chance that
we had of making a difference in the world,
and peoples lives disperase.

Is there anything here worth salvaging?
Should we stay together or should we stay
apart? Don't do this for you and anyone
else do it because its right. Lets just agree to
disagree, and be a family again.


So many times we have hurt each other,
and so much pain shared and more coming.
Can we pull ourselves together and help the world be better,
if not the world then each other. No longer
can I live knowing that we were apart and not
together comforting each other in times of need.


I am not going to die physically, i will die emotionally.
Only because we were not together and every day that
we were apart made me realize that all those
years we had together mean't nothing and probably
never will. And knowing that made me hurt so bad my
my heart grew numb and the pain grew so heavy
that my heart couldn't take it and as I lay there
sleeping, it stopped. I only wish that you knew
how much I loved you and how much I cared no
matter what you put me through, I could never stop
loving you.
