July 27, 2017.
He'll be the death of me.
The road's masked by thick fog, the sky ridden with clouds.
Pitter patters keep tap dancing on the windshield.
And I'm captivated at their repetitive sound.
And I must ask if your sky is sobbing too.
If so, is it out of sympathy or out of it's own despair?
Mine's just been silent for so long-
that suddenly it had a breakdown and now people seem to care.
There's this wrinkled, salt and pepper colored man smoking and looking at flowers for sale.
Bags serve as drapes under his eyes, and his laugh lines look like they have masked how much he's cried.
I overheard him talking about how the weather is so unpredictable these days.
That one day it's flooding and the next he's blinded by the sun's rays.
The more I thought about it, the more I thought about how he was describing you.
The air is heavy and humid but the sky looks cold and collapsing.
I start shivering in remembrance of those who have tried to keep me warm.
People I have pushed away to drown in my own storm.
Your eyes remind me of two cups of pitch black coffee.
Round and with my reflection staring back at me.
Steam travels up invisible dirt roads and to my nose.
I get addicted to your type of caffeine.
On days with this lingering chill, I desire your warmth.
But I never know what season your mind is in.
As our bipolar romance goes back and forth-
I struggle to walk while you push me away like leaves in the wind.

He'll be the death of me.
he's like the weather
I thought you'd like to know that it's raining.The road's masked by thick fog, the sky ridden with clouds.
Pitter patters keep tap dancing on the windshield.
And I'm captivated at their repetitive sound.
And I must ask if your sky is sobbing too.
If so, is it out of sympathy or out of it's own despair?
Mine's just been silent for so long-
that suddenly it had a breakdown and now people seem to care.
There's this wrinkled, salt and pepper colored man smoking and looking at flowers for sale.
