You never expect it.
But then in comes,
crashing down on you
like a cold wave on a sandy beach.
So how do you handle it?
Do you allow yourself to go numb?
Emotionless, thoughtless, catatonic
to the world around you?
No.
You force yourself forward.
Because you can't stop.
Can't let those around you down.
Won't allow them to suffer
any more than they have to.
You find yourself
saying empty words,
each to fill
the gap left in your heart.
And just as your world
seems at an all time low.
Things look up,
you take a step.
And finally,
you feel.
