Everything I wanted, laid out before me <br />Setting there for me to enjoy <br />Blink for a second and its gone <br />Taken from me like the water from the sky <br />Gone, into the darkness like cat in the night <br />How can you go from hero to zero in an instant? <br />From top of your game, straight to the bottom again. <br />Clouded vision kept me from seeing. <br />Kept me from hearing, feeling, knowing. <br />Knowing what was coming, but not accepting. <br />Everything I wished I could do. <br />The cause to all this pain. <br />Not being there to help, nor to hold. <br />This must be the reason for the sudden rain. <br />The downpour over my head. <br />All hope of a comeback is gone. <br />Nothing more to look forward to. <br />Everything I had, gone without a trace.<br /><br />Brian Potthast<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/gone-14/
