Nothing
hearing the news
suddenly
taken aback
feelings mix
mingle
a groggy mess
inside
a confused
mind
shocked
surprised
frightened
upset
nervous
anxious
monotonously
quickly
as though
simply
a robot
packing my bags
clothes
pile
stack
go
up
up
up
seem
neverending
saying goodbye
tears streaming
down frowning cheeks
loading up
suitcases in
boxes in
everything in
key turned
motor going
backing up
crying
sobbing
looking back
for just
one
last
goodbye
gravel crackling
beneath
worn tires
worn souls
paved road
passing under
quickly
coming
then suddenly
going
going
and then
it's gone
there is simply
nothing
nothing but the lonely beat of a hurting heart.
