no one will ever expect
the day that i break.
it'll hit you.
a storm.
a hurricane.
then all at once
and all of a sudden
you will watch me
collapse to my knees
as if a tornado
tumbled into a tower.
my eyes will be as glassy
as that cup of water
still on your kitchen counter.
the tears, acid,
burning holes in my cheeks.
you will stare.
you will gaze in awe
of how someone so happy
can change at the flip of a switch.
i will break piece by piece
in a puddle of my own tears.
and the sad thing is,
no one will see it coming.
