These pieces on the floor,
they were once a thing
I loved.

It took me hours to assemble,
days to design,
yet here it is,
in pieces.

It has been reduced
to its simplest form,
entropy has embraced it
and it has become no more than
shards and dust.

My life and love went into it,
and I will never again
reclaim from it
those things.

It took a lifetime to build,
and only seconds to
destroy.
