when it happens
at all
it's sad
and aching
but when it happens
all of a sudden
it's worse
it's like a
quick fall
into chilling water
all of you trembles
as it immobilizes you
all you can
think to do
is strike back
no! it isn't so!
as you try
to catch your
breath
but can't
then you cry
deep sorrows of tears
that you've kept in
to be brave
all this time
the flow doesn't stop
when you want it to
it spills out
in common conversation
or when you're
pretending to be sane
the shock from
the memory
weakens you
and all you can think
to do
is escape it all
heading to some place
where there isn't any
pain
some place where
there isn't any sorrow
some place there isn't any
you
and your brain
fretting over and over
again
about the darkness that
came suddenly
over nothing at all
(go)
Love it.
ReplyDeletethank you. it started out as one thing, but lead to another, as poems often do. i was glad to write it out, to be sure.
