rambling from a tired mind and tired fingers

Jan 04, 2005 00:35


I took a walk in the rain to drown my sorrows

Paused for a moment and closed my eyes

I rased my head to the clouds and let the rain pound my face

And as it ran steams down my face and over my neck I felt a lone drop caresses my lips

I slowly licked it off and saver the taste

The chill as it ran along the back of my hand and down my fingers

As I walked I felt the puddles seep up through my toes

The cool air set shivers up my spine

And like so many times before I felt lonely

A single memory petrified in my mind

a figure in front of a mirror adding eye liner

at that moment I knew the truth

my hands can barely hold the cigarette lodged between them

the smoke taste harsh on my throat yet fills the emptiness inside me

the cold feels more present than ever

the rain again beats on my face and then I stare at the muddy scenery around me

the street lamp glows in the distance causing flickers of light around me

the sky looks unforgiving and I know I wont be granted the relief I need tonight

so I turn around and flick the final glowing amber into the dirty

I open the door to the silence of my house and leave wet foot prints along the floor

And as I slip my jacket off I wipe the water off the shoulders

My feet feel cold on the wooden floor and I take a seat at my table

And return to my life
