Fracture
May skies
a calming ocean of cloudless warmth, sheets of soft blue silk
floating in the breeze as rays of light beam down, softly stroking my skin
with a tender touch, smiling at me in this peaceful quiet
as gentle birdsong plays, a tide of spring air fills my lungs and I can feel
my heart beating, as I watch the bright flowers dance in the distance
but then
the curtain falls
darkness descends.
Frost invades with a chilling breath.
The birds flee as dark clouds advance
and thunder starts to tiptoe,
whispering to me until my ears ring-
I lose my balance.
My vision blurs as mist floods around me,
weighing heavy on my fragile skin,
poisoning my body with every breath-
my veins cry out for relief, but instead
hailstones begin to pelt upon me like bullets,
bruising me- tears of blood come gushing
as my scars fracture, a crack tears through a frozen lake
and I am drowning
in blinding pain as I suffer the cold of a thousand winters-
I hear my own muffled screams as if from a distance
but I know I am making no sound
for I feel nothing
and I see no red
I am a shadow painted on a bedroom wall
numbness swallows me
and I am gone.
