2 seconds

2 seconds

Its strange how in the matter Of 2 seconds
My perfectly contempt world
Can turn into a heavy, regretful heart
It’s weird how I was just thinking how everything was finally going right
When the phone began to ring and my door slowly crept open
With the phone nervously clutched to her ear and all color drained from her face
I knew at once something was wrong
My heart began to beat faster and faster as my mind raced threw every possible situation
Then it hit as the words stumped out of her mouth
My heart grew heavy with regret and pain I felt my knees grow weak
As I fell to the floor and tears poured from my eyes
He was like cousin before we gently drifted apart
And now I could just see him in my mind lying in a hospital bed not moving
Waiting …
It’s strange how in 2 seconds everything can change
How I could regret so many choices, so many years
And how I will never be the same as before those
2 dreadful seconds
