Uncertainty
The sound she heard before was deafening
Curiosity made her seek the sound
Thinking it was an act of joking
Up the stairs she began to look around
Not seeing anything at first she called out
Not getting a response she began to worry
The closer she came to the door
Her heart began to beat a little more
There was moment she started to care
A distance is showing in her stare
Her eyes begin to water the more she sees
Slowly beginning to fall to her knees
Looking down ever so cautiously
There was warmth she never noticed beforehand
The picture started to show more clearly
It was like a river of red before her
She finally landed on the floor
Slowly turning up her hand
The warmth and red she was in is blood
Emotions are beginning to flood
Silence is louder than a scream
Praying she was just in a dream
Carefully she pulled herself through the door
Looking around it was like a scene from a movie
Blood, gun, and boy on the floor
Was it true did he do the unthinkable?
Could he really have just taken his own life?
The sight before her was unpalatable
Tears started falling like rain
Overwhelming feeling of fear and pain
Was his life filled with such strife?
Sure he hurt her in a way that caused her to end things
But never had she imagined he’d gotten to that point
Life shows things you do uncertainty it brings!
