A Bolt From the Blue
The wreck slowed
Trauma immediately showed
Paralysis and stupor set in
Disbelief feeling thick like sin
The jolt that hits the soul grows
The intensity thick as snow
Mindless movements become kin
All this Because of shock’s win
The sickly glow
Reaping what they sow
Repeating again and again
Never escaping grief’s grip
Always being followed
Watched by those you know
The shock returns every now and then
Picking off the scab through neosporin
Then in the heart forever hollow
A very hard pill to swallow
Shock’s new friend
As life’s new chapter begins
