it would color him
and darken
him,
it would make him
cry
and make him
think

it would be devastating
and it would be
soul-crushing

it would destroy
and it would
create

it would ****,
only one,
but it would
****** more
in the times to
come

it is terrible,
and horrendous,
and monstrous,
and black,
and it happens

and it colors him,
and darkens him,
still.
