"The Day Loyalty Died"

So I sat and thought I’d write today.

What about? I was at a crossroads.

Thought it would be an intricate

Pattern of woven jargon about

Some philosophical view of some

Simple feelings; But, no.

I put pen to paper and decided to let my

Emotions flow from my capillaries

Through my pen’s vein.

My mind is so clouded.

Overcast with thoughts of a

Thunderstorm that’s approaching.

Thunder that claps to deafness,

Lightening that blinds to the

Point that I can’t see

What I can see.

Why does it hurt so bad?

Why do I feel so sad?

I’m not sad for me, but for

You not realizing that

You would need me before I need

You.

Sure enough, the message came

Across my network.  Should I ignore

And fight your match with my flamethrower?

No. I’m bigger than that,

But just know, I know.

And I shall never forget.

The day loyalty died.
