"Time of death, 18:07."

-

Roman knew he was dead.
he could tell,
by the emptiness filling him.

Amelia knew he was dead.
she could tell,
by the way Roman cried.

They knew he was dead.
yet,
when they left,
they expected to hear Rowans voice.

"Did you get me anything?"
Rowan would ask,
with a stupid grin,
his teeth shining.

and Roman would shake his head,
but Amelia,
would come out of the car,
holding a bag of gummy worms.

And they'd watch Lion King,
and everything,
would be happy.

And now,
everything,
is black
and white.

They brought nothing home that day.

Except for tears,
grief,
and memories,
too painful
to remember.

On that day,
they brought home,
reality.
