You can't feel her pain
Kylee Brankin-reyes 2008 (Lagrange)
She walks,
Pain with each step,
Crying a river down her face,
She can’t think straight
The image won’t leave her mind,
It’s glued there,
It’s stuck,
They used to have so much fun together,
He would take her to the movies when She was sad,
He would help her with her homework when she needed it,
He taught her how to ride her first bike,
And he taught her how to play her first sport,
But now he’s gone,
Now she has nowhere to go,
No home,
No family,
No food,
Nothing,
Dragging her feet on the ground they are 100 pounds each,
But she doesn’t notice,
She’s still in shock,
He was just laying there.
He was laying peacefully
Calmly,
how,
How could he look so peaceful,
How could he look like he went through no pain,
He was dead,
But I still don’t understand,
How could he look so peaceful?
How could he look so calm?
How could he look like he went through no pain?
I could only imagine him standing there,
Trying to grasp each breath,
with every ounce of strength he had left in him,
And then finely accepting defeat,
Time has ran out for him,
He could no longer breathe,
But he looked calm.
How?
How could he look so calm, so peaceful?
Life will now be different,
She will have no home,
She has no family,
She has nothing but herself,
she truly is by herself,
She now is and for ever will be alone.
Crying,
Her ribs are breaking with each breath,
She sits down on the park bench,
She falls asleep,
thinking,
hoping,
dreaming,
this whole day was just a nightmare.
