The Man Who Had it All

He had it all
Memories
Unlimited memories
A picture frame
Cards
Handwritten notes
He had it all

Then came his fall.
He gave it up
Not with intention
Not with malice
He gave it up
A vast array of debts
So great he defaulted
Then came his fall.

He lost it all.
Swept away
Like a newspaper
On a windy day
Nothing left
But a hole
In his chest
Irreplaceable.
Ripped out
Tossed on a tray
Withering away.
Impossible to recover
When did he
God betray?
