Crumbling World

Short poem

My world is crumbling
Falling apart,
Piece by piece, bit by bit
At first the pieces were
Big enough to mend
Using the very versitle duct tape.
Time passed, and...
The falling pieces got
Smaller and smaller
Treating it like a puzzle,
Only glue would do.
More time passed, and
The pieces that fell were
Nothing more than crumbs.
No way to repair it now .
The only thing left to do
Was to sweep them up
And dump them into a dust bin,and
Attempt to begin again.
