The sun came up this morning .
You may not have noticed.
Breakfast was finished.
You may not remember.
Your clothes seem to match.
You wonder who picked them out.
Weather doesn't bother you.
You are not going out.
You feel neither hot nor cold.
You feel numb.
Numb and betrayed.
Giving into the betrayed feeling can only lead to anger.
You were on track.
But life took your friend, your lover, your husband.
A chapter ended.
Abruptly
Finally
Today should have stayed
(a little longer)
You were betrayed.
Anger will come.
NO!
Put out the "No Deliveries" sign.
Numb is safe.
Numb is comfortable.
Tonight the stars will come out.
You may not notice.
