I'm saying these words so softly
and I hope you might not hear them
you brushed the hazards off my tongue
you're cold, you can't hear
~~~
the calm is smooth as glass
not longing, not wanting to touch
the efferent peace of this hour
hangs waiting for the fall
a head hung, a word lost
a careless list of trivialities
not including you
an ominous rumble betrays the clouds
the birds scurry to make their shelter
held true to turn away
to forget and lose your way
as the black begins to roll in
sighing mournfully and raising pitch now
you're uncovered, weak and small
in the sights and in the same, nowhere
the first heavy drops spiral to earth
with a crash that shakes the foundations
you begin to fight and find you're alone
the often tried footing gives way
a chilling flash illuminates the hunter's fury
raging ceaselessly, or so it seems
as the day dies and eternal night descends
demons howl their tormented anguish
the violent forces smash, drag you under
with a subtle lessening the beast moves on
revealing a limp form, sodden and lifeless
not you anymore, you're gone
the heavens open and unleash the deluge
time marches on, grey and forgotten
but this rain is here to stay
I wonder where you are
and where the hell was I?
and I hope you might not hear them
you brushed the hazards off my tongue
you're cold, you can't hear
