Falling Apart

Don't ask me if everything’s alright

'Cause it's not.

A dream is shattered

Because one man is dying.

Don't ask me if I'm okay

'Cause I'm falling apart

Because one man is dying.

I look around at all my worldly possessions

And I'd give it all away

Just to have more time

With the one man who is dying.

The only thing I'd keep

Would be a blue book

Because he gave it to me.

I may be smiling but it's

Only temporary.

I may appear happy

But it's just a mask

To hide the fact

That I'm

Falling apart.

Let it be known that on December 5, 2010 this poem captured how I was feeling. It is my own poem and I still feel this way.
