The sun rained down on the city that day
the day that everything changed
The old man walked alone that day
watching as his feet hit the ground
every step was a new beginning
and he was surprised by what he found
The children played together that day
wishing they could grow up too fast
not knowing how quick it would come anyways,
they still wished to forget the past
The mother sat alone that day
surrounded by empty minds
mourning the loss of her little girl
tears came with every new thing she finds
The girl was surrounded that day
as darkness filled the air
thinking about what would come next
every thought was too much to bare
The man drove for only himself that day
losing control with every mile
every action had a payout
that broke spirits and smile
