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
