In pain

as I lay on a grassy field in the Maine
I begin to smell rain. 
a tropical storm approaches as I
drown in pain.

my lungs collapse in pain 
I have nothing to gain
my eyes roll back, sweeping 
through my veins
a light shines, and said my name
I wake up with no more pain
but at the end, the gassy field
only reminds me of pain.
