Something Bad Happened Today
Something bad happened today.
Emotions destroyed like hurricanes
Words drowned and created tears
Ears heard and hands covered them
To rid some of these horrid pains
Drunken breaths were slurring words
Cries took place in the bathroom
Souls didn't want to let go
Instinctively I flew with the birds
Because...
Something bad happened today
A mother's love was lessened
Broken hearts had numbed a family
Minds no longer burst with energy
Something in hearts was embedded
Untouchable eyes saw Touchable breast
Careers were at risk
Innocence committed suicide
It was not feasible to rest
Memories were made to taunt
Brains held too much
Oxygen no longer produced breaths
Eyes closed producing visions that haunt
Stomachs sank
Fear not once trembled
Things were unbelievable
Mouths drank
Something bad happened today
