Amidst the turmoil

I felt like the world caved in and ended today
As everyone I cared about closed their doors in my face
It feels so strange that when it matter the most
Nothing and no one ever seems to fall in place
Life in all its cruelty dealt me this deadly blow
To get disowned when you need them at last
Seems to be the general order of the world
This pain digs up all the ghosts of the past
As I drown myself in this horrible feeling
There she walks in front of me waving her tiny hands
This little angel who walks on earth all of two years
Reminding me that there is nothing called a best laid plan
