Forecast

I scream into the wind, only for my voice to pound right back into me....surrounding me, its my best friend. I cry sideways, the tears wet the corners of my eyes, and horizontally paint my face with pain. Caught up in a whirlwind of emotions....a tornado of realities I don't want realize, a thunderstorm of tears, if I'm not careful, I might drown. The earth separates and sucks me into it, dissapearing without leaving a trace of me...forgotten....never known. I slip away into a realm of nothingness as if I never was, thrown from one side to the other....sometimes sneaking back into your world, just to walk right next to you and remain unnoticed....as if we are strangers....don't you remember me? Don't you remember the sweat that night on my sheets? Don't you remember how my lips tasted? Don't you remember? And before you start to embrace the thoughts of how I made ur heart throb, the earth pulls me back into it. Selfish, not daring to share me with you...just trapped below the surface, forced to survive off our few memories.....playing them in my mind like a flipbook. And as the pages of our book run out, I scramble for a pen and paper to draw new ones. New images, new daydreams of you and I together...smiling,laughing happy (together). But the wind twists in jealousy and swallows up our fairy tale flipbook, mocking me by spitting it out with all our memories torn from it...leaving only the residue of the salt from my tears behind. So easily erased, so this time I reach for a permanent marker, making sure that I press so hard it bleeds thru the paper....not allowing us to be distinguished so effortlessly....and in mid stroke of telling our story, I drop deeper into this hell...further away from you, and leaving our lovestory behind... incomplete and never to be read.
