Soft Mint- Benjamin Moore 2041-60

by Sofia Lopez

The smell of food,
Smelt everywhere,
Praised throughout the house,
Lunchtime had arrived

Whole family was gathered
Delighting in the delicious food,
Children’s laughter could be heard everywhere,
Everyone was having a great time

A sunny day
Where heat penetrates the entire body
The family decided to go to the beach

All gathered in the car
Singing love songs,
As they usually do when they go in the car,
Suddenly everything went dark

The sound of people running
That was the only thing she could hardly hear,
Her heart beat with less force each time,
And little by little she stopped breathing

The boys and his dad returned home,
Nothing was the same,
An empty seat on the table,
An empty space on their hearts,
Two red lines appeared on the bathroom,
That was impossible

Two years ago
He received terrific news,
He wouldn’t be able to be dad again...
So then, how was his wife pregnant again?

That only meant one thing
His sweet,
Gorgeous,
Lovely,
Splendid,
And handsome wife,
Cheated on him

How was this possible?
And what if these are only assumptions?
But wait,
He remembered something

That night,
Not long ago,
His wife arrived really late
She looked nervous,
Confused,
But no word was said

This will be forgotten
He’ll never know what really happened,
Will have been his fault?
"I do not think so"
Deplorable,
He stopped breathing.
