DESTRUCTION

by ZURI

Just a little rough around the edges,
But I know your insides are smooth to the touch.
Heart of cold polished metal.
Rock hard with many different layers.

Took a chisel to the different places I saw fit,
And a lot of pieces fell apart,
But in my eyes, everything seemed to fit.

I was hoping all my plans
Were going to succeed,
And I felt the need to go deeper.
But I played the wrong cards.
I hit the deck too many times,
My chisel hit a smooth rock that I didn’t mean to shatter
And I got burned by the lava kept at your core.

But I loved you.
So, I stood there until I couldn’t take any more.
And now I can’t
I let go.
And you burned the cards of our life.

So, now I sit back, sipping tea,
And watch you destroy your protective shell and everything else.
