Never Let Go

When I was 10 my parents left each other. 

On they day they told me,

 we sat on the couch in defining silence 

and forced ourselves into the harsh reality ahead. 

I still remember the emptiness in my heart

 and the sickness in my stomach.

 I was lost so far into the darkness all light had disappeared. 

The sound of my mothers trembling voice triggered a painful lump in my throat.

You know the feeling. 

I couldn’t stand the thoughts in my head,

So I grabbed my mothers shirt,

I hoped for the life of me I would never have to let go.
