DEAD IN THE RAIN
As I lay here on this cold night,
My hair soaking wet,
My clothes drenched until the rain pours into my skin,
Until the rain washes away my unruly tears.
I told them to go away but they just keep coming.

I lay there on the side walk.
A slight shiver runs through my body,
But is quickly silenced by a splash of water from a passing car.

I stare into the darkened gray clouds and let the water rush into my eyes.
I do not blink.
It doesn't hurt anymore.
I'm not cold anymore.
I can't feel anything anymore.
My heart doesn't ache anymore.
Everything is just...numb.

I am floating.
I look down and see myself.
My clothes are drenched,
I look as if I am sinking into the wet pavement.
Through all the rain I can still see my eyes.
They are red rimmed and my hands are twithching.

My lips are parted and I watch my eyes roll back.
Then I can feel again.
I gasp for air.
My heart is pumping.
I just died, I thought.

I look up again to see the clouds part.
You walk up to me and say
"Are you all right?"
"Yes." I say. Then I smile, walk away, and leave you there, clueless.

I am over you. Finally.

MISERY IS NOT BLISS

An Un-heard sound,
From a soundless soul.
MISERY IS NOT BLISS
A Shattered piece,
From a shattered heart.
MISERY IS NOT BLISS
An Impossible love,
From a broken possibility.
MISERY IS NOT BLISS
An Un-spoken lie,
From a deceivers' mouth.
MISERY IS NOT BLISS
A Scattered life,
From a busy boulevard.
MISERY IS NOT BLISS
An Un-dead of Un-wanted bliss,
From a relationship of misery.

MISERY IS NOT BLISS
