| In The Rain |
A way to unleash
all that is sound.
spirit caught hanging
from a last desperate thread
of numb sanity.
I see the flash behind
those dark dark eyes...
I see the same looks
that I saw years ago-
in a different face
I realize what has drawn me here
at last
I see as if from comfort-
a perspective I grew accustomed
to having given up
long ago...
at last
I see as if from myself,
and I notice all the details
that I conceded to ignore
and I see the flash
beneath dark lashes,
in a pale face
the same burning fire
that I used to see in a mirror-
someone who I gave up for lost
has finally proven to me
that they never left... |
