Would you follow me down

If I fell from grace

If I told you to stay

If I ruined it all

If I told you to leave

If I was going to hell

If I said you deserved heaven

If there was no saving me

If I told you I wouldn’t have you

If that really was it

If it would be your end

Would you follow me down?

Unpredictably

Chaotically

Into small pieces

Sometimes right in half

Maybe salvageable

But a lot of dust left behind

Eroded

Disintegrated

How does the cookie crumble?

How long did it take

You

To realize there was a

“You”?

That there were more than

“Me”

And something greater than

“Me”?

And that there were

“He”

And that there were

“She”

And that there were

“They”

And that the difference wasn’t always clear to

You?

How long did it take?
