“Out of Order”

Write a poem about something that is out of order - you could take a literal approach, or try to work in a metaphorical theme.

Foundation

I felt the shift in the pavement A crack in the foundation The ground we were standing on Crumbling all around me And you were nowhere to be found No, you took off running The second things got hard Don’t you remember everything you promised me Remember how we talked about How promises were sacred things And how you’d like to keep them Because they weren’t kept for you But what did you in fact do? Broke every last one Why promise anything at all? If your intentions were to run What have you done? Made this mess of me And I’m supposed to stay silenced in my pain? Watch you just get away with everything What’s the consequence of losing me? Throwing me away I never had a say You shut me up Before I even had the chance to speak Whys it always me? Why do you always leave? My heart is done I wanted you to be the one Heart out of order I’ve come undone
