They Were Gone
They were gone - lost to us - its sadness was cruel - and our lives changed in
that instant. Reality - distorted beyond the grasp of our understanding. Our world
that was - no longer is.
They were gone - and everything seemed to go into slow motion - time seemed
to stand still for an endless second and grief throbbed inside my chest. My heart
ached so badly - that it robbed me of my ability to think.
They were gone - and as always, happens in the wake of that realization I am left
in the blackened depths of the greatest sadness in my life.
They were gone - and now as I lay here in this cold lonely cell - the setting seems
all to appropriate - after being held prisoner by this tragedy for so long.
They were gone - and finally I understood - I had been pushed past anger, past
protest - but never past the endless stream of tears and heartbreak.
They were gone - and the toll of our loneliness runs far deeper than anyone
could ever imagine.
