The World Stopped Turning Today

The world stopped turning today….

The earth stopped spinning on its axis
Taking with it
The bright blue of the sky
The sparkling brilliance of the sun…

Leaving my universe a place of darkness
Where a smile is afraid to come out
Laughter no longer exists
And joy is a thing of the past

The world stopped turning today…

So the seasons have forgotten to change
Gifting me with nothing
But the desolate coldness of winter
The crushing devastation of hail
The bitter freeze of snow

The world stopped turning today…
And with it
The everything I knew
The everything I felt
The everything I believed
Vanished into the silence
Never to be heard from again
