Aftermath

There are moments in life,

In the solemn silence of tragedy,

In  the void of choking heartbreak,

In that moment of nothingness,

When your chest beats,

Your hands shake,

In the time between breaths,

The wind churns the branches,

And breaks like waves,

Crashing,

The helplessness of it all,

Sits on your shoulders,

And freezes your rushing thoughts,

Paralyzed,

I sit in the aftermath of the storm,

Offering cheap words,

Offering all that i can and all that i have,

A lost whisper in the distraught cries,

Drowned out  by true pain,

All i can give is my presence,

All i can give is my love,

And hope that is enough.
