Melt

My world is melting around me
I am spared
Condemned by my pain
Tears slipping down my face
Or are they raindrops?
Drip, drip
The sound of a world gone mad

Shifting, changing
Crackle in the air
Thunder booms and lighting flashes
Still I stand
Then memory hits, and I crumple
Underneath its weight
The cold earth and the raindrops are like ghosts
Below me and above me
Surrounding
Never touching
My pain the only reality

The world continues melting
Around me as I melt within
Lying there
Yearning to escape into the storm
Feel it inside me
Let it cleanse me, wash away my pain

Drip, Drip, Drip
My tears
The rain
Sounds of a world gone mad
