Despair

When tears replace laughs
When shock haunts those eyes
When gasps echo around
And replace normal sighs

When wild looks tear hearts
When inwardly you tire
When you hopelessly watch
And wish everything is a lie

When grief strokes you eerily
When it shatters everything there
When you feel its all over
And life is too much to bear

When there's no one to blame
When there's no shoulder to cry on
When every step you take is painful
And worse than the face you don

When comfort blows away
When love is lost
When everything comes back again
And your emotions are tossed

Revival of grief. Doom.
I call it despair.
What do you call it?
You feel it when life's not fair...
