Immediately,
it was shock and raw pain,
alternating like a seesaw:
up and down and up and down.
Back and forth
like a game of tug-o-war
you were pulled.
You're caught in the middle
of the hula hoop,
going 'round and 'round
as emotions and feelings
came upon you like a tidal wave.
Treading in a pool of hardship,
paddling to stay afloat.
You bobbed and bobbed,
every time coming back up for air.
Knowing every time that the tears would stop
and the pain would melt away.
