Loss
A final exhale staggered through pained lungs,
As the heart gave in to its demise,
Dark orbs glazed over,
And screams haunted the darkness,
While cries of agony filled the night,
A dreadful symphony,
A nightmarish harmony,
A twisted chord,
The voices rang and rang,
Like bells on a wedding day,
Like bells on a funeral,
The smell of lifelessness,
The smell of death,
It reeked and reeked,
And the shards were scattered like dust,
Like the ashes left behind,
A horrible reminder,
Broken dreams,
Shattered hearts,
Crushed souls,
A terrible reminder, indeed
