The Day He Woke Us Up

When we were woken
Our eyes still stung with sleep
We didn’t understand
What was happening

We could still smell the candyfloss
From the fairground in our dreams
And the cold morning light
Shook our systems awake

The man we both adored
Stood before us
Crying softly
Holding a suitcase

“I’m leaving” he said
And in that moment
A part of me broke
And the room swam with pain.
