mourning

there's a primal shift that occurs  
when something of yours is stolen 

a stillness takes over you
and makes you wonder if this is death

well, yes

it is death that has taken who belongs to you

but no,

that stillness is not your breath or beat

that's your rage warring with hopelessness
that's the carpet being ripped out from under you

that's your light being extinguished
that's the hope being torn from your heart

it's worse than death
at least what was your is in peace
