as i sat there i heard the last spoken word
and silence crossed my slowly vanishing world
the roaring thunder and rain no longer came
and what’s left of my childhood is now in a picture frame
i lost sense of the destructive time
like a ghost, i started to pitifully whine
i felt like a hollow figure of somber clay
like birds in winter, my memories flew away
i floated on a grotesque see of my own grief
didn’t know what’s above and what’s underneath
the waves like ivy wrapped around me
and left my body miserable and paltry
the clutch of the of the thoughts is what hurts the longest
and the gloomy ocean of
