you won't remember what this was

kids playing quarters in the back of a classroom.
incomprehensible equations and formulas in the front.
and in the middle, where i sit, next to you
everything is calm.
all around is a world of chaos that i can not get a grasp on.
all around me things don't make sense.
all around me, things fall apart.
all around me, a life i thought i knew comes crashing down.
incomprehensible equations and formulas.
kids playing quarters.
and sitting here
in the rubble of my ruined life
next to you
i am calm.
and it all makes sense.
