Something happened tonight
The world slowed down
Life changed
One moment, everything's as it was- the next, there's no going back
I find it entirely strange

Impact,
and then like a mushroom cloud after an explosion
New knowledge ballooning out into thought

But... everything is quiet and I don't know what to think
I don't know what's going to happen
To me; more importantly, to you

I think... I think that the sky must be weeping for you
Clouds' tears are pattering gently upon the skylights in my room
The heavens rumble and sob passively

Will you cry, too, tonight? Will you lay in your bed and stare blankly at your ceiling?

There is fear, but there's also a sense of inconvenience
The realization that life is going to get a lot harder

That life is going to have to change entirely
Or that it may end before it gets the chance to.
