     " i witnessed it fall apart,
        fragment by fragment,
        copious amounts of debris.

         there was nothing i could do
         except listen.
         as i watched loved one's
         lives twisted apart.

         there wasn't anything i
         could do,
         other than pretend that
         i hadn't heard anything.

         i was just tired,
         too tired of being
         on my toes constantly,
         trying to calm the
         storm.

         i am most definitely
         a cruel person
         sometimes. "
