Imploding

Crumbling to pieces like the foundation of a building

Structure, once so sturdy and tall, has been shaken so hard it's finally beginning to fall

A structure cracked and worn with time, small quakes creating the damage running through it's spine

Despite all the cracks and shaken foundation, it's bones remained sturdy, unmoving, never breaking

Everyone around made testing it's strength into a game, jumping around inside, taking a bat to it's frames

For years upon years, more cracks did form, as their games they played left the building a little worn

It was one fateful group, one massive earthquake of a game, that tore it apart until it would never be the same

They left it with glee, not a care in the world, as the foundation of this building finally began to stir

The inner framework, shaken to it's core, wobbled and splintered, for the weight was too much to endure

A devastating crash, so loud and chaotic, there was no one around able to stop it

So everyone fled as this building gave way, the very same building they used to test everyday

They wore it down, damaged and destroyed it, but when the reckoning came, no one stuck around for it

This building isn't a building, but a metaphor, you see, for this imploding building is metaphor for me
