It all happened so fast before my eyes

My mind couldn’t process it all

You’re gone and I’m still here

I remember the feeling of numbness

It lasted for a few days

Until it wore out and then it hit me

I cried and cried a lot

My heart ached so much

Even now, I still feel that way

I’m lost without you

But you never cared

I’m running through the forest

Passing by so many trees

Not caring if my legs would tire out

I gazed at the ocean below me

Standing on a high cliff above

I collapsed to my knees

And I screamed out so loud

Until my lungs gave out

I shouted to the sea

How much I hate you

And how I still love you.
