train of thought

by emma-*gemini* - Not entered

i fall back into that train of thought
that always leads to you
and i know there's no escaping
the free-fall i'm about to endure
so i pop some ani into my cd player
and sit back
waiting for the memories
to come and wash over me
it starts as a trickle of the little things
then the floodgates open
and every second i've ever spent with you
flashes behind my eyes
then the tears start to fall in torrents
and ani is still singing away, angry,
about how sorry she is
i know what she feels like, 
being sorry
i get out my journal
but words are confining:
they can't express the intensity or passion 
of my emotions
if i'm lucky,
i'll fall asleep
that doesn't happen often, though
i just get lost in the memories
i'm at the mercy of my emotions
i know from experience
that there's no escaping it
i just sit back and let it pass
if only it were that easy
finally, the click of the cd player
penetrates my thoughts
and, like a storm, you've past.

Reason for writing:

    just falling in love, over and over, with someone that doesn't love me.  e-mail me with comments :)
