Running Towards Them
When I run towards them,
On the dark,
Starry night....
I missed them
And grabbed thin air
Back in the present
I decided to burn pictures
Of them
To make them forget
About me
And me,
Them
But then I started to remember
And this made me
Uncomfortable
And sad
So I decided to
Destroy the scraps of memories
That I had left of them
Breaking a smiling picture of us
I walked out on a rainy day
And shoved the picture in a hole
Before walking away
But they come back
On another rainy day....
The truth was,
I could never
Get rid of them
I could never
Forget them
Because then
It would just make me sad
I run into the rainy park,
Where I buried them
A day similar to when they left me
A day that was always truly special to me
Looking at the playground
With the downpour
Covering it
I realize
That they are no longer here
Even though I thought I heard them
Calling me
Just one more time
The rain falls on me
As I fall to my knees
And look up at
The tree
High, high above me
Covered with rain
Against the blue sky
My vision gets clouded
By the raindrops
As I succumb
To the feeling of the park and playground
A realization I felt
As I look up at this rainy tree
My hair blows in the wind,
Then my vision stutters
Unable to grasp reality,
Before the park, playground, tree
And all the memories
I ever had of them
Simply fade away
The raindrops
Washing away my vision
And washing myself away
With its rainfall
Into the past
We wished for....
Into
The grayish, blue sky
Far above me....
