falling

the world didn’t end, but it cracked - and I fell through

I didn’t see anything for days,

all I could think was

where are you?

my fingers stumbled across cracks and dents

in the wall and air

not once did I think twice

not once was I scared.

I had one job - and one job only

and that was to keep you safe

but now you’re gone

and I don’t know where to

so I looked for and found

the crack in the earth

and I fell through.
