Nothing Holds

It started moving

And didn’t stop

I felt the ground pull back

Like it was done pretending

Every step felt borrowed

Every breath out of time

You said we’d be fine

But you didn’t sound convinced

The space between your words

Was wider than the truth

We leaned too far

And called it balance

We trusted weight

That couldn’t stand

Nothing holds

Nothing stays

Everything we built

Slips away

I watched the frame give in

Right where we said it wouldn’t

Every promise bent

Under its own weight

We kept standing still

Like that meant something

But standing still

Is how it breaks

Don’t say my name

Don’t slow this down

If this is falling

Let it fall now

We felt it coming

We let it happen

Nothing holds

Nothing stays

Nothing holds

Nothing stays

It started moving

And didn’t stop
