Ground Zero

Ground Zero
I should have seen it coming.
	You came soaring through
	the sky at a venomous speed
	directed right for
					me.
	You used my love to 
	fuel your plane and your anger is
	the pilot, set out
					to destroy me.
	You crash into me, 
	murdering my heart, body, and soul
	I know what dying
					feels like.
	You took months to
	plan and organize my defeat
	I know what losing 
					hope feels like.
	You destroyed  yourself
	to kill me. I have crashed and burned
	smoke remains. I know
					What the Twin Towers feel like.
Wish I had seen it coming.
