It was all fun and games till there wasn't laughter

Echoing off all the walls

Like a prisons

The walls are peeling and the food disgusting

I watched the aftermath

I walked down the hall

I looked into the eyes of the dead

minutes before their soul left

If I hadn't...

If I had...

If there had been...

Static rings in the hall, and a single phone vibrates

Vrrrr... Vrrrrr...Vrrrrrrrr

Boom

Boom

Boom

My heart explodes

I watch fear develop

And mumbles and whispers around the room and then

Boom

Boom

Boom

I duck

I sob

I cry

"Oh my god"

"Oh my god"

Oh my god

they're dead, he's dead

He's dead

My true love?

How could he...

"We are gathered here in memory of..."

I block out all names

I stare into one pair

One pair of walnut brown eyes

on a posterboard

I look at my black dress

puffy red eyes rimmed with mascara

Boom

Boom

Boom
