wandering minds

The first is just some random thought of mine.... written in 10mins, I didnt really think much it just was.
The second is reality.

The news had sunken in, 
family tried to support her through it,
tried to say the things they thought would help it,
this situation wasn't common, 
out of ones depth in worry


For how did this happen they would whisper,
how did this happen to our child,
what could have possibly caused this.


Days scraped on by, 
the pain it caused was felt by all,
the ripped up feelings, such visible wounds, 
The more they thought it,
over and over in ones mind
the more it seemed impossible.


The time had arrived,
for them all to say their goodbyes,
people gathered from all over 
in disbelief, 
in funeral attire,
they all stood to pay their respects..




For people they fall in and out of life,
you appear with a celebration, 
you leave with a celebration,
no one tells you how it will feel,
or how to cope,
there is no book out there with guidelines.




Had you seen me, 
had you felt the pain,
had you watched the tears fall,
would it have changed your mind?


Had you heard the cries, 
had you seen my thoughts,
had you caught my fall,
would it have stopped you?


Would it have made you think,
would it have clutched at your heart,
would it have done a thing at all?
I don't know now,
when I sit alone, 
Calming my heart down 
Picking up the broken pieces
The pieces you created,
The pieces that should have never been...
