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.
