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
