Sometimes you pour your heart and soul into something, you work real hard to make it. Then you watch it fall away and no matter what you do you can't save it. You stand where whatever it was once stood, the ashes blow around you and you sink to your knees. Your chest tightens and your throat constricts.
Screams bubble up inside of you, but when you open your mouth it's silent. Until you begin to sob, the tears that burn at the brink of your eyes begin to trickle away. All your hard work, everything you had, broken, the rubble lays at your feet.
Some people stay in the same place, they curl up amongst the rubble, curse. Dream in the dark. Others dig through the rubble trying to salvage what they one had. If your smart, you move on.
