Downpour

I watch the glow,

And drift away...

It lightens up,

The darkened sea...

The cries and screams,

All fade away...

A forgotten silence,

Takes over me...

So many times,

I wanted to run,

And leave forever...

Only to return,

And see you here,

When I'm all better...

You know,

It's always with me.

You know,

It never leaves me.

The surge,

Has a strong attraction.

It serves,

As a bad distraction.

Sometimes,

It gets so hard to pretend...

It leaves me screaming in the end. 

Watch the embers glow,

In the night-time sky...

They're slowly falling,

On the sea...

Can you see I'm hiding,

Behind my eyes?

Can you tell I'm living,

On my knees?

After forty nights,

When the rain subsides,

And the floods are dried and gone...

I'll run to see,

If our names in ash,

Have stayed there all along...

You know,

It's always with me.

You know,

It never leaves me.

The surge,

Has a strong attraction.

It serves,

As a bad distraction.

Sometimes,

It gets so hard to pretend...

It leaves me screaming in the end. 

I like to think,

That I'll be fine,

If you leave me here,

One final time.

Just a desperate wish,

From a tired heart,

For an easy end,

To the hardest start.

I'm on your edge.

Don't make me fall.

I found you once,

And I lost it all.

If love's the ending,

You have in mind,

Then write your story,

At the end of mine.

Fate left you here,

With me tonight,

Saying, take a chance,

You'll be alright.

A playful shove,

And a sneak attack,

Like reaching out,

Just to pull me back.

Am I too far gone?

Could it be too late?

Can you save me now,

With a fast escape?

If love's the ending,

You have in mind,

Then place your hand,

Inside of mine.

Please remind me,

How to be excited.

I lost my way,

Can you help me find it?

A gentle brush,

And a whispered word.

I miss so much,

In the things unheard.

I catch your stare,

And the softest smile,

And I dream this out,

Just for a while.

If love's the ending,

You have in mind,

Then trace your name,

Right next to mine.

If love's the ending,

You have in mind,

Then write your story,

At the end of mine.

If love's the ending,

You have in mind,

Then place your hand,

Inside of mine.

If love's the ending,

You have in mind...

Then trace your name,

Right next to mine.

This flows like a mountain stream, anticipating its union with a larger river. Well written.

Thank you for reading and reviewing Akhila!

I felt the volcanic power and destruction. I felt the hardened lava flows...
Is the memory a petrified artifact or the seed of living love?
Only she can answer that I see...
Here's wishing you a rainbow and then some light refreshing rain mixed with sunshine!
A well connected write. I felt your words and understood them in a living picture.

Thank you for reading and the wonderful insights! I appreciate the review!

This flow @-@ like butter. That was probably the most mundane way to describe, but it's melted butter so it's amazing.
Basically

This poem end flowed extremely well. Glad a friend of mine pointed me to this.
Love itself. Portrayed through this. I'm impressed. And enjoyed it so very much.

A contemplation and confession type of poem. A powerful poem indeed. These lines stood out for me.
