Some Old Building

And like some old building I, came crumbling down.   I drowned in the rubble of dust and smoke. I felt my lungs collapse. Gasping for breath.   I, felt brand new aches I couldn't imagine. Looking down I fell to a slant.   This wasn't a cry for attention or a plea of desperation. My knees folded past my stomach. I coughed my lungs out in a puff of smoke. My allergies reacted in a way that I've never seen before.   Like some old building I, came crumbling down.   Without hope of resuscitation I collapsed. A cloud of smoke funneling it's way down my throat.   A dry cough and a gag. I ached in ultimate agony.   All in attempt to avoid falling on top the bakery beside me. Her smile, her scent. Stealing all of my breath
