The Day After Marshel

The day after  everyone knew
and it was him they were after
The day after that it started
to hit me as I cried for hours
The day after they still
couldn't find him
A week went by and my
dreams were all gone
Then two weeks more and
the pain felt the same
A month and a week some
started to dout me
Four months  later and
I try to ignore it
Now it's been about a
year some have forgotten
but I remember how 
it hurt the day after Marshel.
