Unexpected Sadness
Sadness
Of a depth
Unknown to me before.
Shock,
Anxiety,
And fear,
Swarming around me
In a hurricane of emotions.

Blue skys, no clouds,
How can the world look so perfect
When everything is so wrong?

Tears filling my eyes
Surprising isn't it?
I never thought
It would come to this.

Reliving that moment
Over and over in my head
So many things suggested to this.
Why didn't I relieze
That today was the begining of the end.

Why didn't I see it coming.
How blind was I to the wisps of smoke
From the fire of warning.
How deaf to the song
Of the bird of dread.

Maybe tomorrow
A new ray of hope
Will find my broken soul
And begin to heal
the wounds
Made by such simple words
And will bring me back
To the ways of the real world.
