We had it all, begging no
pardon,
Accepting no quarter from frequent distracters,
Keeping a light over our pretty bedclothes,
Feeding the meter with coinage aplenty.
Happily, snappily, jauntily singing,
Running through sprinklers in childlike joy,
Bracing for nothing, braking for less,
Flying full-throttle through oceans of air.
We never thought the world could come crumbling,
Never imagined us coming to end.
Tolls left unpaid coming due with a vengeance,
Sipping the bile of indifference and change.
I ran with blinders; did not see it coming
Til you stopped me hard, dagger in hand.
Stabbing me deep to the pit of my stomach
You thrust upward straight to my heart.
I can’t imagine my world without you.
You can’t imagine the damage you’ve done.
Heart soundings mutes to eternal silence
Joined with the undead in their zombie walk.
