it hit me
just a minute ago
that it is truly over.
sombre
sobering
it was like hearing a door slam
up a long hall way
a stark finality
pealing from the skirts
to the ceiling
i felt every sadness
all at once
rush through and fade into me
that is mine to carry
for now
my lungs filled with a fullness
i've not known in a long time
i had reached into the turmoil
and found a piece
i never knew i had
i found a peace
amongst all this bad
and as i slowly stilled
my crazy racing heart
acknowledging
that yes, i too played a part
i never had the words
you never had the time
together we were drifting
each a different line
sad it had to come to this
feeling nothing but pain
no hocus pocus just staying focused
my piece of peace will eventually explain
