7 days ago, you were still here.

As the hours ticked away, you were consumed;

Consumed with rage and pain.

You were unable to see the future.

Soon, all would be washed away.

7 days ago, you were still here.

Blinded by the end, you calmly sat;

You sat in a field filled with nothing, but the end.

Time was not on your side.

Soon, all would be washed away.

7 days ago, you were no longer here..

Pain breathed its last breath and you were gone;  

Gone was the disappointment and the need for forgiveness.

We rushed from every corner.

Soon, all would be washed away.

7 days ago, we were forced to hold time in our hands.

Questions that can’t be answered, yet we press on;

Pressing forward to a new normal.

A place and a time without you.

Soon, all will be washed away.

Be good to each other,

-Nathan
