This realization is hitting me hard
making me sad
making me cringe
tearing me, all of me, apart!

A simple deliverance it might have been for someone,
this news of our existence – ceasing to exist!
How it changes me, my life, my every day
When they wont be a part of any of this.

How can I be calm, at peace?
When they’ll be out there, restless, searching,
trying to find a new means of survival.
How can I be at, any, ease?

Lost, sad, afraid, tearful, anxious.
Here, I am.
I know not, why I survived?
At least, our sorrow could have been the same.
