Say Anything
I want to stand, my feet on the soft white talcum like sand, so gentle between my toes. To have the gentle sea breeze on my face and the warm golden sun blazing down on my fair skin. But it’s been raining on my parade, just raining and now it starts to pour. Water flowing down the gutters and overflowing the cannels, it roars loudly into my ears. My clothes wet with the harsh rain beating on me, as my wet heavy cloths cling tightly damp with rain. Drops flowing down my matted black hair. I stand shivering and alone in the cold, so cold, I reach out into the emptiness and embrace the freezing rain against my skin. I don’t want to go back to the darkness that I had been, you can say anything. Anything at all and it would take away the rain. Dry my tears and bring me home to where the dark clouds part and the sun flickers down on the beauty that is the bay. I wish the rain would stop and the scars would disappear from where they came.
