Words on the Page

I quietly read the words on the page.
Nothing is making much sense.
It hurts to think and feel,
Like I've hit a wall or fence.

My body goes numb.
My mind grows weak.
My heart gets faster.
The color drains from my cheeks.

I suspected all along.
It had to be true.
But when it was finally said
I didn't know what to do.

I quietly read the words on the page.
Nothing makes sense anymore.
My life is over,
So I slowly shut the door.
