THE PAIN THAT STRUCK (poem)

p

Wake! wake! wake!
Those three words are how i started my day
Never expecting that the day would be filled with much pain...

I had no idea why I had been awoken so early
But when I had gotten knowledge of the situation, I began to panic-
She couldn't say my name like she usually does
Neither could she reply to hers or even the loudest buzz
Right before me, her skin started to whiten
It was then obvious that she had stopped breathing
She stayed in the morgue all day and few weeks later
While i continued to give myself consoling thoughts so I could feel better
Thoughts like when she walks in through the front door
And tells me "you have just been pranked my dear boy"

I refused to accept what'd happened
Until a date was finally set to cover her in dirt
I took one last glance at her still body
And realized that she wasn't coming back for me
Right there, I started to feel something I've never felt before
It must've been the feeling of losing someone
Finally, it all became crystal clear
That what had just struck was actually death...

I thought I could leave the scene without my emotions setting in
But the tears were fast, rolling down my cheeks,
And all i could do was voice a "Rest In Peace"
Before i fell and broke into a million pieces
