The Grand Canyon

Imagine that every time your heart was broken the world tried to emulate your pain, 

You get dumped by your first love in high school; 

A plate breaks in half.  

This is life's way of leveling the playing field, 

Your parents get into a fight, someone screams about divorce; 

A mirror shatters. 

It’s reassuring for a while when you are dealing with little things, 

Moving away from your childhood friends; 

The pavement splits. 

It makes you feel like you are not alone,  

Betrayed by someone you love the most; 

The wall cracks. 

It seems the bigger the heartache, the more disastrous the circumstance, 

Losing your childhood pet to an illness or an accident; 

A foundation rifts. 

What kind of heartbreak would it take for the world to reflect your pain so strongly, that it creates The Grand Canyon?

Mine is easy... 

My grandma laid on a hospital bed for 5 days before she passed unable to do anything but exist 

In those 5 days, the world mimicked my pain.  

The world mimicked my pain, and almost swallowed itself in the process...
