Seven and a half

It took seven and a half days for the
Sun to come out after she died that day
What can you say to him only twenty
two ? He knows the truth, and so he might,
he might write about it to cope with the hole
Instead he'll fight about it and cling to what's left
Ever wonder what your life would be like in a million
jagged pieces strewn across time? The worst
part is - he stayed sane and had to deal with all
his and our emotions. He had seen her smile his
whole life, even when he couldn't fathom a smirk.
All the towels stacked neatly in the closet
and skinned knees on their way to healing.
The sun came out and there was every smile
he ever knew. Her memory could not be clouded
So what do you tell him only twenty two,
when all the smiles of his life have disappeared in
seven and a half days forever? Sunless-
the bruises hardly heal and messy towels
leave him distraught searching for life.
