Everything burst at night,
Too quiet to be the end
She didn’t listen, but
talked about how she hurt
so much–I’d lost her
I sat still on the windowsill
unable to process the truth
I would have to serve
two years all alone
Desperately, I tried
It was too late to
turn everything back
to what it used to be
Stay put so I don’t
fracture what’s
endured half a decade
First, I lost one
Then, I lost all
