The Bomb

The bomb dropped.

And I was away.

Your gentle tears fell.

And I was absent.

 

My imagination was like a television set.

Stuck on repeat.

I saw vivid scenes through my head,

my very own crystal ball.

 

Your blonde hair, bedraggled.

Your green eyes drowned by red.

Your cheeks scarred with black lines.

 

I wanted to hold you, like a mother,

andsoftly say "You'll be ok."

But a mother to daughter, could not

tell such a brutal lie.

 

You've lost something dear,

something close to you.

A vital ***** a part of you.

For that what she was like to you

bonded with you by blood.

 

The spark ignited,

and issued your pain

and a terrible story exploded

 

But my lovely, I will be here,

my shoulder: your handkerchief

I know not how to deal with something like this

but my hand will stay in yours with each step.
