When the Last Leaf Falls. When I am stressed, I like to press "play" and succumb to the music as I drift away telling myself that there are voices creeping into the very core of my brain... The rain hitting the pavement And the mist of an impending storm Thunder growing louder Clouds black in a solemn sky. A visual form of perfection, penetrating where I lay Looked into the depths After a break up I went out into the ocean got caught in its building waves closed my eyes in the crash and impact there I lay, unconscious for days Awoke to a goddess that traced words on my skin With her soft trailing fingers asked for her named but received only silence after she told me that I'd be okay Lying in this dread unyieldingly kept alive yet dead I'm wondering if I'm in heaven as I stare into florescent lights The radiance of a thousand candles Keep me warm Beside me there are a thousand rhythms engulfing me in sound So when I awake, I hope to see that goddess and that she'll whisper in my ear that I am just a breeze that's gently blowing until my eyes close and the final leafs begin to fall erasing memory, pain, life, it all. ------- C&C would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
