The Phone Call That Destroyed Me

Out of nowhere I received
A call that brought me to my knees
Making me turn weak and shake
The news was more than I could take
It was shocking and unreal
There was nothing I could feel
Going numb and frozen still
I couldn't speak I lost my will
To control any emotions
Each one of my body functions
Just shut down and left me in 
The worst kind of sad condition
That I've never felt before
I finally fell to the floor
As the shock of what I heard
Kept repeating word for word
Over and over it just played
My heart felt like it was slayed
Tortured knowing you wont be
Making memories with me
Since you were taken so fast
How long will this heart pain last
I can't replace what you have meant
Why did that fatal incident
Take away my universe
This tortures getting so much worse
Waking up without you near
There is nothing to compare
What I'm about to go through
Without days of having you
In my life to love and hold
My whole worlds about to fold
And crumble into tiny pieces
Until my life finally ceases
Disappearing into nothing
I can't survive without your loving

Very emotional. Nice job capturing details, Robin. Sorry about the pain you're going through if this is true.

Is this fiction or or fact, Sweet Pea? Did you yourself receive such a phone call? I'm sorry if this poem is a true part of your life. These new poems of yours are being written with a great deal of intensity, which is both wonderful and worrisome, simultaneously. Great that you have such intensity in you, but I worry that you may be hurting, and I can't stand the thought of my dear friend hurting. Have to run right now but will be back soon and reading more of your new pieces <3 ~ Chan
