Storm

Could you leave
Long enough
For your smile to haunt me?

I won’t hold you now,
I’ll watch these storms shatter you.

It’s all I can do
To stop hunting you.
You’re too fragile

Like exploding glass,
Stained red from wine.
Dancing forth
Into the night,
These storms shatter you.

Purple, blue flowers
Bloom.
The fists never hit hard enough
For you to notice

That I loved you.

Could you leave
Long enough
For me to just forget who you are?

I’m not bringing you home anymore.
I’ll let these storms shatter you.
