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

such a haunting read,
when we hear some of the unimaginable atrocities that occur in the world, everyday
and we're stunned, aghast and made speechless, this is how we feel I think:
' 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

(if this write, was about people
who were close to you
I'm sorry for your loss, dear poet)
thx
