Pieces

Worry in my eyes . . .

Knowing what they'll say . . .

 Hoping I was wrong . . . .

I look at my mother . . .

I can tell I was right by the look on her face . . .

Tears swelling in my eyes . . .

I can't breathe!!!

Why can't I breathe???

Am I suffocating???

My mother grabs me before I fall  . . .

She confirms my panic . . .

I cry till I have no more tears . . .

They tell me it was a qucik death . . .

That it snapped his neck . . .

They say it didn't hurt . . .

I find it hard to believe that Death doesn't hurt . . .

All my memories flooding back . . .

Good and bad . . .

But I wish it were only the good . . .

That day will always stay planted in my memory . . .

The day my heart broke . . .

The day I fell to pieces . . .
