Closing Without Closure

Sometimes it’s just over.

It might come 
with a warning,
it might come 
out of nowhere.

Might go on 
longer than it should, 
then come crashing to a halt.

Sometimes it’s just over.

You get that feeling 
in your gut,
that the light 
has been turned off.

And you feel 
your joy evaporate,
and your lungs deflate,
and you’re left 
sitting there,
unsure if to wait.

Thinking.
Wondering.
Left stuck with reality.

The one thing that’s never ending.
