Poem Commentary

Missing someone before they are gone is harder than after because you have to watch it come true. Then it is true.

Reality

Looking for one thing to make sense.
You hear the sound that burns through the brain like candy,
Eye candy not to be confused with the good one.
Words get blurry, eyes won't focus, can't move, it's only been a fraction of a second but it still feels like an eternity.

They wait, so I let them, as it starts to sink in, no more waiting now!
I nod, they all go hurrying off to their posts, is this one mine?
Maddening rush of feelings and thoughts, no changes now.
Can't see for the water, must be raining, somewhere.
Is this my place, my job? WHY ME?

Makes no sense to me, how am I supposed to know, no one told me what way to go. Make guesses, hope they are good ones, I feel it.
Why did no one let me know, show me which way to go?
The hard part started, can't turn back now, just a few more feet.
But what will I do, what can I do, how will I make this go away?

I am there now but I am alone. Go through the  motions, hope their right? Feel it coming a maddening rush and then nothing.
Its not for me so why am I the one waiting. Wanting to say no, don't go. For then I would have to say goodbye and that I will not do!
The tears are for me but you will never see me cry, until I am the one to say goodbye.
