Say It Isn't So

No, no.

Say it isn't so.

I hit the pavement.

Spit out rocks.

Kick and scream.

Because maybe that'll make it alright.

No, no.

Say it isn't so.

It's completely impossible.

Unconsidered, a problem nonexistent.

No, no.

Say it isn't so.

Tell me it's not true.

You're kidding, of course.

Just a ridiculous ruse.

No, no.

Say it isn't so.

I look,

Furious,

To the eyes of my informers.

"How dare you say this!"

I spit through and shout.

How dare they tell me that he's gone.

Him.

How dare they tell me I won't see

Those eyes.

That smile.

How dare they deliver such news

That extinguishes my light in the dark.

That kills a hope I once held close to my heart.

No, no.

Say it isn't so.

What do you do

When the one you loved,

Lays broken and dead?
