Undone

Fluxuating
Borderline unbearable,
Tipping over the edge
Only to gather back again.

Lines are laid
Alliances made
Unthinkable unspeakable, unquestionable,
Put in a pattern
Simple straight foreword. Unchangeable.

The impossible happens
The laws are broken
Foundations crumble,
Ropes are frayed and torn.

The lines laid so long ago
Shaken up, twisted around
Ripped apart and tossed asunder.

A forgotten cause, from too long ago
Leaves the chaos, a maelstrom of confusion,
From habits forged and set in stone,
Until they shatter, turning to dust.

Rain is falling.
Hitting more water.
Rippling over the surface.
A pattern laid bare.
For all eyes to see.

Rain keeps falling.
Falling everywhere.
Hitting everywhere.
One drop too many
To send it over the edge.
