Ten Steps of Tears
By: Aidan Gilbert
I run
The rain falls the hardest it has ever fallen
The coldest it has ever been
I cry, feeling the worst I have ever been
The first step I take, my thoughts leave and give up on the idea of sense
My heart is in a panic
The second step my tears fall side by side, in harmony with the rain
A sour taste unveils in my mouth; I am choked up
The third step my jacket slides off my shoulder
I run faster, tears blurring my vision making the world around me abstract
The fourth step the wind blows too hard
My face gets cold and drops to the temperature of my heart
The fifth step the moon shines on me
It reveals my brunette hair that’s being slashed to pieces
The sixth step I hear what I am trying to escape
Its orchestra is the rain and the sound of my desperate dying heart
The seventh step my sneaker slips in the wet sidewalk
My heart falls, I drop my guard; I take fire again
The eight step the bullets you shot out of your mouth start to hurt
The poison sinks in; I am a broken innocent helpless girl
The ninth step I pray my hurt won’t overtake and make my head turn around and see you standing there
Standing worried, sad, not regretful
The tenth step my mind drags me to the floor and rehearses the words you said,
“Were over… I’m sorry.”
