Years ago
When nothing made sense
There was a man

who sat there
After he had paced the living room’s floor
For more than 3 hours
The door bell rings
He had known
He had felt it

He opened the door
They stood there
They told him
He stared at the floor
His ears clogged for a sec
He was…

He went to his daughters’ room
He told them that mommy was sick
They just stared at him
With their innocent eyes
They listened to him
They slept…

He sits again
After smoking as many cigarettes
His lungs could take
He clutches his fists
He rubs his forehead
He cries…

Years ago
When nothing made sense
There was a girl

Who stood in front of her class
Waiting for the clock to strike 8am
Anxious about her Math exam
A friend approached her
They had gossiped the previous night

She hugged her
She told her
He was gone
She gasped
She leaned on the wall
She slid down
Slowly…

She couldn’t move
Her ears buzzed
She felt…

A friend tried to hold her
She pushed away
She couldn’t even scream
He held her
She sobbed…

Years ago
When nothing made sense
There was the same girl

Who was getting ready to leave
Hang out with friends
A simple dinner

She passed by her neighbor
Who lived a block away
He kissed her
He felt like staying home
She walked towards the door
Smiling…

He called her name
She turned back to him
He collapsed
She held him
She called his name
He was turning blue…

She was by his side
In the ambulance
She screamed his name
Her eye vision was blurry
She screamed again…

She pounded his chest
She wailed
She screamed…

Years ago
When nothing made sense
The same man and same girl

Sat down for some coffee
They smiled
Sarcastically…

She had grown
To have his eyes
To have his smile
To…

They sat silently
Both scribbling
On different papers
They light their cigarettes
At the same time
They laugh…

The man smiles
The girl giggles
In a lost time
Where laughter seemed to be null
When the gulls stood so proud
Perching over their loss

While clouds moved around
As if time had never changed
As if time had never damaged
As if time…
Had a parallel entity

Years ago
When nothing made sense
The man hugged the girl

They walked through the purple trees
They reached a pond
They threw some pebbles
They soaked their legs

Time froze
Just this once
When nothing made sense
Anymore...
Inspired by moments of "loss"

The silence that seems so still
The breathing that seems so heavy
The constant wish to die at that certain moment
