A flash in the distance Moving this way Yet captured by thoughts Forced to stay, The sky is dark Filled with silent fear I can feel its sorrow I feel a tear, Looking back At the days gone past Only wondering How long it will last, Seeing her body Slowly taking form Knowing my fate Lies within the storm, My dreams return One by one The droplets falling harder Not wanting to run, The water falls Against my face Afraid of the memories Held in this place, My eyes held open Facing up to the sky Held by my will With the storm I cry, I see my life Fading into the distance Looking past tomorrow Breaking free of life's trance, Feeling my soul In the force of the rain Wind beneath me My conscious is slain, Rhythm vanishes The storm begins to fade Waiting in the silence Wishing it had stayed, To hear my anger And wash my sins But all that it told me Was new life begins.
Reason for writing:
I wrote this poem after I made out with a girl that I liked, only to discover that she had a boyfriend. It tells me that no matter how good it felt to be with her, the best thing for me was to move on.
