Collapse
i am watching my life collapse around me
each brick, each stone,
each one falling
on me as i sit all alone
the foundations shift with a complete calling
i am watching my life collapse around me
and as scared as i am
i fee strangely remote
alone as i am, in this old fashioned lifeboat
i am watching my life collapse around me
James Garratt – November 2006

Collapse – Written November 2006 (Aged 31)
It’s beautifully tragic how you describe this moment as poetry. It’s very evocative to me and heartbreaking.
