Tragedy


Disastrous end of a love affair

Calamity in the wake of the fallout

Catastrophes bemoan the wind

Upheaval of reprisal sorting out the victims

Damage to lives unfold

Shattered emotions lay bare

Chaos ensued sorting out the fallen reflections

Bedlam erupted two souls entangled with each other

Pandemonium could not be stilled

Anarchy warped the minds of survivors

As they question why anyone did not see

The tragedy before it happened
