And then all of a sudden there I was, bruised knuckles and stained wrists. My eyes were red and my face was swollen. My lungs hurt and my heart was empty. And you were gone.
All of a sudden the nightmares were real and I was trapped in the pain of loosing you. The walls we built to protect ourselves came down and you expected me to build them up for myself.
All of a sudden my heart was beating fast but screaming slowly.
All of a sudden my body shook and my ears rang.
All of a sudden my hands grabbed for you and you weren't there.
All of a sudden, in the blink of an eye,
You weren't there.

All of a sudden I panted and I cried.
I shook and I screamed.
I fell and I hid.

You weren't there.

All of a sudden it was real.
It's over.
It's over, it's over, it's over.
It's all I could hear. It's all I could think. It's over.

How can just two words hurt so much?
You weren't there.

All of a sudden, I stopped hoping.
All of a sudden, I started dying.
Don't blink again.
