Drifting off into slumber
I bid that my dreams take me
To that quiet place with you
Where you forever walk a littoral paradise
My tears flowed like the rain
That simultaneously streamed down my window
When the news came
Brandishing its torturous edge
My soul went numb and cold
As it went to work on my quintessence
Rendering me a machine for a spell
As the blade cut me to my very core
In a split second all of our plans
Came tumbling down around me
Spilling out of my head and onto the floor

Spilling out of my head and onto the floor
Landing askew like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle

Rest in peace, my angel in disguise
Joanne, this is so painful but beautifully stated. My tears are joined with yours in this time of grief.
