The Ghastly Truth

When words cannot convey the story and truth becomes mere allegory, when words cannot express the shock, reality, itself, is mocked. No words I find can near convey the ghastly truth I faced that day. The tale I've tried to tell a few, but my meager words cannot get through. When everything you've ever learned about this life and all concerned, crumbles like a flimsy lie- yet it's a truth you can't deny... This knowledge now just isolates me, reality, truly, now escapes me, words are null, my lips are sealed, inscrutable and unrevealed.
