Everyone has one.
The moment where everything is too much.
Where just breathing is painful.
The "breaking point"
One of the most beautiful,
And painful
Things of all time.
You can see the exact moment when someone shatters,
Their own tears drowning them on land,
Their body shaking-
It's too much
It's all too much.
But nothing is worse than the sound of someone breaking.
Desperate.
Pleading.
Resigned.
All found in the same sound
in between
gasps
of air.
The first time you ever hear cries like this
Breaks you.
They echo in your mind
Keeping you awake,
Numb,
Sick to your stomach.
And yet...
How can there be beauty in such tragedy?
Experiencing a person at their most vulnerable,
Without any feelings of power,
Any outside factors,
Just their heartbreak
Causing you heart ache,
Is a painful,
But humbling,
Reminder of the people,
And their pain,
Around you
Just hold them,
Hold their pieces together as they're breaking
And in the chaos there will be peace.

The stanzas always get messed up but whatever.
Anyways this poem sounds kind of creepy but people like sad movies for a reason I guess.
