Sad times



                             Sad times
If sad times were water, then he would have been drowning,
If sad times were a breeze then he would have felt its chill,
If sad times were oxygen then he would have breathed it in,

A moment when you feel empty,
A moment when you see your laughter vanish into the grasp of agony,
A moment when reality hit you hard with full force of infinte pain,

A moment when you start to reflect on your self,
A moment when everyone is 50,000 miles distant from you,
A moment that can only be felt.
