She can't sleep,
she's worried.
Then the knock...
Bathrobe, slippers, 2 soldiers
"we regret to inform"
Faulty knees buckle, hands flail, tears well up
She fingers the engagement ring
dreams of white weddings, white picket fences
give way dark, black funerals and open caskets
Her hands comfort her swollen belly
as her unborn child kicks
only 19
but she had found the one, the person of her dreams
Her grief fills her completely
she hurts in every fiber of her being.
All of this sadness and only 19.
You look at her and she has changed
Although 5 minutes ago she was relatively fine
Her eyes no longer beam bright blue and twinkle
they sit sullen, hollow, mere useless roundballs
instead of helpful illuminates,
her smile and rosy cheeks once could make
every head turn at a party, now tremble uncontrollably
Her tears well up,
leaving traces on her skin
then fall to the floor as barren and empty as she feels
her arms, once wrapped around his back
now fall, limp, and flop at her side
She doesnt glow, once the light of his life,
she now turns a sickly pale green
She isnt glowing because her light was extinguished
Her light is gone
she's worried.
