It was like the bottom layer of my guts suddenly got taken away
So everything dropped and went out of place
And had a very feint ache
And in my head
Things started tightening
A little bit of twisting too
And grey and black started seeping in
And seeping out from what was already there
To hear it was a shock
To speak it made it real
So the tears came
But words didn’t release it
It stayed there all day
And grew in the background
As I thought of more and more “no mores”
And “never agains”
For their family
Their children
And I didn\'t want to believe it
