Life Drownding

Can you see the darkness, the utter blackness that surrounds me The only light shinning down from a single street lamp reflecting off the water on the street a sad run away story the black pavement blends in with the sky the yellow glare is from a street light the metal of it twisted up in fancy design to the right of me is feilds to the left of me is another road and more feilds green grass and gold weat springing up with wildflowers barely visible, looking dead and matted down i sit in the middle of the empty street dead center of the lamps yellow glow as if a spot light were being shone on me so that im not in the dark completly the rain still hasnt ceased but it feels good on my hot, slicked, over heated body black skinny jeans stick to me a black and red band shirt sticks to me black sneakers with checkered red and black laces cover my soaked feet my nails are the color of the sky same as my face streaked with eye liner grime hair dark and curling in the rain matting to my back maybe life is just a game maybe we are all just acts i drop my head in my knees wrap my arms around my ankels right above my feet the rain pours down and i feel weak my heart flows with the rain drownding into the gutter do you see it do you see what no one else will the little red stream life drownding in the water
