By Tabassum Tahmina Shagufta Hussein

Things fall apart 
When you don't know the people
Once you used to know.
Things fall apart
When you don't know the people
Stabbing you behind your back
Things fall apart 
When you don't know
What's happening behind the scenes
Against you
Things fall apart
When you can clearly notice vengeance
In the guise of smile
Things fall apart when people treat you well for their own scheme
Things fall apart when people
Put on shows of happiness
When their ultimate wish is to destroy you.
Things fall apart when you are capable of noticing their each pretense.
Things fall apart when you are completely unaware of the people 's plotting
Things fall apart when you see the grudge in their eyes.
Things fall apart and perish
And there is nothing to fall apart anymore.
