Kara, There's Been An Accident

"Kara, there's been an accident."
It's like these words have been etched in my brain,
carved in my arm, injected into my veins.
"Kara, are you there?"
This is the heaviest emptiness in existence.
This is the hardest way there was to walk.
"Kara, do you understand what I'm saying?"
I swear I intended to live the day today.
I swear my heart is sunburned and blistering.
"Kara, can you please say something?"
I heard the sound of my dreams just then,
racing somewhere in my head,
and it jolted me to an endless waking sleep.
"Kara, your parents are dead."
Nothing.
Not the whine of insects,
not a second passing.
Just the black abyss in which I must live.
"Kara, I'm sorry."
I can taste the salt,
the silver saline fluid freshly fallen on my lips.
And the faces go rushing by.

Well I think the profanity was justified in this context. But hey, we live in a moderated world these days.
As for poem, it was heartbreaking. it had a similar melancholic tone that much of my poetry has, and even this line: 'and it jolted me to an endless waking sleep.' sounds like something i wrote in a poem once.
You were brave and honest enough to put your sadness onto paper, I respect that.
