When You Heard Poem by lara solis

when you heard that death came with the burden of pain, I guess you didn't feel so fond of it anymore.

when you heard that friends aren't real until they see you cry and don't cry themselves, I guess you felt you didn't have as many.

when you heard that family can't be changed and that some people want to, I guess you didn't feel so sure of civilization anymore.

when you heard that life would end abruptly and without explanation, I guess you just felt sad.

when you heard that those funny and pretty talks don't last forever, I guess you looked around you and a tear ran down your already wet cheek.
