I watched as he blew away in the wind

He was splitting

Splintering

Falling apart

I tried to hold him together

Grabbing pieces as they broke away

Protecting them from breaking

Yet it was pointless

Even those I managed to catch

Disintegrated and blew away

Until he was nothing

But a pile of dirty clothes

Begging to be cleaned

But no amount of bleach

Could erase the stains

He left behind
