Falling Apart

I feel a sadness so deep it burrows down to the core of who I am
A sadness cold, a sadness old 
Built up over years of denial,
A impenetrable wall
It has been weakend by the realization of my mistakes
Crumbling beneath it's own weight, pushed by the flood of regret it once held back.
The moon looks on as everything falls apart
Releasing a wave that destroys everything in it's path
Broken from the inside
Invisible to others
As my heart beats slow
Deep inside I know 
That this is a flood of my own making
I suffer the chaos
And I know I must rebuild the foundation of who I am
After the collapse of my dream
I lay down the cornerstone of my life. 
I know that it will stand the test of time.
