collapse

i didn’t know it was going to happen
didn’t feel different or strange
no nausea
queasiness
light headiness or ache

i’ve been informed
it was the years
of wear
and tear
not caring for
the damaged parts
as they splintered
and broke
no attention to
the warning signs
just letting moments go by
that turned to days
that turned to years

and now
too late for repair
i can only sit and wait
for the finality
collapse
