The Truth Hits
That day like any other
We were talking around
The table when the phone
Rang. I knew what this

Meant. This was the call
That never came. One I had
received so many times before.
My mom answered as I sat

Paralyzed that was the
Longest one sided phone call
I’d ever sat through. “Yes”.. “I understand”
I felt the tears form in my eyes

My throat is closing up.
My eyes search your face...
You say one word... “Hunny”
shaking your head. You step forward

Attempting to pull me near and I jerk from your
Grasp. “I'm fine” I say going to my room and
Throwing myself down on my bed. The
Moment of okay is gone. The truth hits me and

I drop like a ton of bricks and I feel the
tears pour from my stinging eyes, before
I realize it I'm hitting the wall
My voice screaming

But the sound is gone. Nothing escapes
My lips. Theres a deep hole in
punched through my
chest.

The hole will never be filled.
The gap in my heart gushes
Blood while my soul slowly
dies. That day we arrived home.

That was the day I died inside.
My soul screamed for redemption
and my pain... projected all over
My body. The day I’ll never be the

SAME
