The News
I thought I'd died when I walked down those stairs;
I felt the numbness after the hairs
Had stopped standing on the edge of their seats.
Those sentences, my mind repeats.
Everything I thought I'd known, had gone.
I was nothing, no longer someone.
As the words hit me, I was awoken.
The panorama around me suddenly looked broken.
Bull in a china shop; where was I going?
The room in slow motion yet my footsteps weren't slowing.
Was it I who fell and clung to the rail?
Was it I who stormed around like a gale?
Suddenly I felt alone in the house.
No one had left; just playing the mouse.
I knew the pain had to go away,
Shame you were the cause; I wanted you to stay.
