The Depth of Loss
Paralyzed by pain, I struggle to breathe
As phones ring and cars pass by around me.
It's a pause -- a jolt to a sudden stop.
It's having the core of your soul ripped out.
Ebony blankets once sunlit skies
As bitter cold sweeps in, unannounced.
I stand in fear and in shock . . .
Naked to the bitterness of the cold,
Helpless against the ripping of my soul,
Still . . . and with only my broken mind
Left to scramble together some ounce of pseudo-sanity
Everyone sees, yet no one knows
And I am lost, raging, alone with my thoughts.
