Sometimes a small crack can morph into a gaping hole. Relationships are like that. Sometimes a repairable snag can turn into an irreparable pile of shreds if it is not mended. While it is possible to repair, this can take time. The warning signs appear, yet quite often ruptures are ignored until it’s too late. Whatever the rupture, fracture or snag may be, give it the attention needed, because ruptures, fractures, and snags can stand out like a sore thumb, create a bigger divide, and hurt like a dickens.
Rupture
There is a rumbling
but can you hear it?
And the crumbling, can you feel it coming?
An unchained harmony
or an oncoming busted pipedream
creating a rift so great
so alarming
that we stop, and in a gasp
like a ruptured eardrum,
blood vessel, or ruptured disc
breaking, bursting
a breach of harmony
a sudden eruption
a perfect relationship cracked,
divided, crumbling
can the crack be mended
or leave well enough alone?
