death

death hurts
it always does

but sometimes it's unbearable

the kind of death where you had an amazing day

when you think your perfect day is coming to an end

your dad picks you up,
and he seems really quiet,
and down

your happy mood calms down a bit

when you walk in the door to see your mother's back,
and your brother sitting on the couch

to feel your father's hand on your back,
asking for you to sit down

to hear that a loved one passed away,
and they don't even know why

that they won't know why because they can't touch the body for a few days

the cold
lonely
body

death hurts

but when you dont expect it,
it does more than hurt you

it destroys you.
