A Deafening Moment

Before I pick up the receiver-  
I brace myself for what I feared.  
...  
 
Suddenly I’m lost at sea,  
The eye of the hurricane is staring back at me.  
I feel my insides fold up and wail,  
My organs impaled,  
While all around me glass shatters in perfect symmetry.  
A hair pin bounces off marble deafeningly,  
...  
 
But how on earth did I know  
Before I answered the phone?  
 
Now I can’t imagine carrying on  
in a world where you’re gone.
