Shattering Truth

Oh, why? Why must life be like this?

So sudden, so unexpected...

Leaving the empty doorstep, only to listen to the cries of the wind.

Turning into a sharp edge, only to hear people whimper and mourn.

Stepping into the whitewashed, plain, pale hospital rooms, only to receive a solemn statement:

" Sorry, we've tried our best, but he's GONE..."

So broken we are, inside out.

At every corner we turn, lies, deceits, unsaid truths filled our path.

Just a single step, and we are trapped in yet another painful, heart tearing truth...

Like a knife it is, piercing deep into our hearts, twisting our lives into an unknown maze...

Leaving us with distorted routes to journey on, inch by inch, in agony and fear...

Oh, how? How shall we face it then?

Sobbing till there's no more tears left.

So cold, so broken...

That's what is left in life ahead...

A path with no direction, no light, no hope.
