Devastated
Has there ever been a time
When you couldn't breathe
Couldn't seem to control
Your ragged and heavy breath
Or your heart beating out of your chest
Or the tears pouring from your eyes
Has there ever been a time
When you wanted something so bad
It was all you had ever dreamed of
Has there ever been a time
When the thing you want most in life
Is so close
That you could almost touch it
Has there ever been a time
When what you want most
Has been snatched away
Out of your grasp
Just moments before reaching it
Has there ever been a time
In life
When you've been left
Devastated
