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.
