Only it had been...
#WritcoPoemPrompt97
Standing at the edge of reality and disbelief,
A broken soul shivers deeply,
Was torn and shattered on the reef,
Between what seemed so real not to be true.
Standing at a distance,
As though time had been paused
And life had taken a well
anticipated break,
Even my heart took a little stop.
The dreaded was now a reality,
Tearing my flesh apart,
Exposing my bones
To the cruel reality of pain stinging at my being.
How bare I felt like a newly born,
Not recognizing the familiar voices around me,
Not seeing the faces of people out to hold my tears in their hands,
In just a minute the world had changed and everything was strange.
Caught in this strange reality,
I wanted out,
I wanted to breathe the familiar air my lungs longed for,
Not this one holding despair.
Then my heart began its beat,
The world reconciled from its break,
And time breathed again,
So did my lungs.
As she lay there as one in a pretty sleep,
Hands clasped,
Eyes closed,
Only it had been in death.
