...comes that moment when you get awful,
unbearable, life shattering, news,
and you can actually feel your
heart beating in your throat
as if it, in all of its liveliness,
can't bear to be trapped in its home.
So it's begging to escape,
tugging at your vocal chords,
pressuring you to scream so it
can leap out into the beauty
of the rest of the world and
slowly
lose
its
rhythm.
And while you lay there, lifeless,
these horrifying thoughts
are clapping in joy,
like an army,
celebrating its vicotirous invasion.
And in the deepest coves of your brain,
they start hanging their achievements
because they have no intention
of ever, ever leaving.
In just one blink of the eye,
your whole world
has been turned upside down,
and what you thought sixty seconds ago,
is now a lost cause-
Never to be forgotten
but with enough
blinks of your eye,
You'll soon forget to remember
how life felt,
how life looked,
or how life tasted...
with every passing moment.
