The Best Poem Of Maddie Barrett

Nothing

Sitting in the living room
My parents on either side
I hear them talking
Telling me the news
They say they’re splitting up
And I can feel the tears
Trickling like water in a faucet
I taste the sadness in my throat
Like swallowing food whole
Then I touch my mother
As she surrounds me in a hug
I see my dad, sadness on his face
He looks like a sad puppy
That just lost his bone
My heart breaks
Like a vase being dropped
I smell nothing
Just like what I feel
I feel nothing
And I want my heart to heal
