On the day my world crashed

The birds started singing early

Peter left for Oregon at 6

It was a stressful start

The morning was warm

The sun was shining bright

You struggled to get out of bed that morning

I knew something was off but couldn’t pin point it.

On the day my world crashed

You left around noon

Spirits were high

You called in the afternoon before I left for work

You asked when I’d be home

You thanked me for being your mom

You said see you later and I love you

I said I love you too

I went to work

I took the pictures

I reached out to the artist

I called you on my way home but you didn’t answer

The door was locked

I could hear sound coming from your room

The house was hot

I opened the windows

I left the front door open

I called your name but no answer

I saw you there

I screamed your name but no answer

I pushed you to the ground but no answer

I couldn’t hear your breath

I screamed out in hopes someone would hear me but no answer

I rushed to find my phone

I called 911

I could still hear the birds singing

I could hear the sirens

I couldn’t hear anything

My world was dark
