Sombre day, the shadows hide

No threatening clouds of rain

Just an overcast Sunday covering the blue

Just the grey of your eyes

Fallen from heaven covering for you

I saw you and you thought I missed you

In the crowd

I saw you with him

Assumed I it was someone else

I saw you in the rearview mirror

Laughing not haunting

Followed to close

Ducked under your hat

Sunk into your seat and passed me

I was never the only and I knew

You pushed the knife in so deep

Wait for it it’ll pour.

9.

I want to make it last

For it to continue long

But my time is short

I must act perhaps

The time will never be ripe

When it is

It too is brief and eluding

It is not the best

But make do with what’s at hand

Then the pain and choking may begin.

10.

The avenues have brought me to a place

Far from what you call free

I’m a prisoner as much as the victim

Tied, bound, and gagged begging for freedom

No one to release or unbound this nature

I am slither the underbelly of this creature

I spy to make my move to hover over your pain

I am in the pursuit of your demise without disdain

This comes as a gift from your own

I am unwrapped by their justified throne

I am given to you as their wrath

Thrust upon me poured upon you and I laugh

As I enjoy wrapping you in pain

Drink your muffled screams in the dark of rain.

11.

Twisted in quiet thunder

I ponder fate and shudder

The doors have been closed for so long

I don’t think it’ll slide off my tongue

It’ll writhe and squirm and tremble

To the gasping eternal buried in the brambles

I can see heaven in her eyes

And then it disappears in horrible cries

Then…….

In the twisted quiet thunder

I can see the dark of her eyes ponder

Just for a moment, she turns out the light

In the envy of the storm

She feels cold wrapped in her arms imagined to be warm.
