The Press of a Button

I don't like explosions
For they rip apart the day.
Sudden and loud,
With a bang -
Tearing across the warmth 
Of the sun.

As if I pressed the button,
The explosion set off
Becomes a fault of mine.
A terrible loud
And aching cold
Dragged across my warm heart.
Boom.

Nothing's the same,
Through some days pass
All returns to mundane,
Familiarity.

The sun shines again,
Yet the pain remains.
Of words past,
And cold reminders,
That an explosion-
Ruined an otherwise
Great day.
