Before, Middle & After

There is the before

There is the middle

There is After.

The car ride

The phone call

The doctor's visit

The test results

The waiting room

It changes you.

Sometimes it happens slowly, at other times, immediately.

You might not know how just yet.

Your heart shatters into a million pieces.

Will I like who I become?

Will I even recognize her?

 You're not the same.

And you never will be again.
