The pain is so unbearable
My heart shredded in my chest
To know that children died today
And must now be put to rest
You can never fully imagine
Those words you never want to hear
You’ll never hold your child again
It’s happened; your worst fear
Their innocence is shattered
The victims that remain
This pain has touched all of us
The tears like a torrential rain
The children’s light
Snuffed out to soon
The laughter fading
The outlook’s gloom
The gaping hole
The ache so deep
The senseless act
The nation’s weep
The answers unknown
The questions remain
To stop senseless tragedy
Making evil refrain
