The moment you actually feel your heart break. The moment you realize your entire life from that second on will never be the same. The moment you feel your body is no longer yours, your mind shattered, and the image of your future burned. The moment your heart cries, for the look in your child’s eye and the sound of his voice, two things that will haunt your thoughts forever. The passion and pain keep me alive. The unknown of both happening again, like the monster you cannot see.

Eyes That Close
2:30 PM, one week ago. The moment I realized my life would never be the same. I searched for holes to see the light, stood on garbage and benches to see the day. I wondered what he was doing, how he was doing, what he felt, if he hurt just as bad...praying that his heart didn’t hurt as bad as mine. I wondered if time would always feel stuck. Hour 22, I could no longer see the light and I wondered if it was just because hour 25 was going to bring the longest darkness I’ve ever experienced. One week since then, I was right.
