Another face was here
now gone
Another voice was right
now wrong
Another day once light
now dark
Another person once whole
now falling apart
Another life once great
now amiss
Another sky once bright
now storming

This goes to show
that things always change
This goes to show
questions have unwanted answers
This goes to show
that seconds change
They also change things surrounding them.

The author's comments:
Most of my poems come from experience and feeling. These experiences remind me, that in a second, your life could be turned upside down. And sometimes there isn't anything we can do, no matter how much we want to.
