"And this is the moment before. The moment when everything is still familiar and understandable. The moment before everything shifts."


One, Two, Three, One
Memories turned to mere gusts of air
Cradling burdens and crushing fears
Close my eyes and breathe, shutting out the pain

One, Two, Three, Two
Don’t remember, don’t forget, the presence of a soul
Blackness fills the senses… gone, gone
Always said it would be there, now it’s lost

One, Two, Three, Three
Tears choke out the feeling
Words have lost effect on the vast numbness
No one’s there anymore, and no one will be


The author's comments:
Loss is one of the world's greatest darkness's. It robs and in turn leaves a gaping whole. You are never alone.
