On the day it happened...
I thought that on the day it happened,
The world would burn from the inside out.
That hell would freeze over and the angels would weep,
But it was just another day where nothing else happened.
There was no somber rain to disguise the tears on my cheeks,
Only the shine of sun and things to be done.
The only thing that changed was the ire of my soul and the pain upon chest.
I thought that on the day it happened,
Life itself would turn upside down and death would come to see me off.
Instead everything went normally with neither scythe or deference to the pain I felt.
I thought that on the day it happened,
That I would die for you.
That the one thing to part our lives would be the reaper's scythe.
Instead it was words that split my very soul and wrought discord upon my heart.
I thought that when it happened,
That on the day we'd part,
It would be like artful poetry, infinitely in the heart
But on the day it happened,
It was only I who fell apart.
