Comfort Zone

Darkness wraps around me

Like the arms of the lover I miss most,

Onyx streets slicked over with downpour,

 

No stars tonight, love.

Maybe you and I watch the same scene

Through different eyes.

Does the glow still linger in yours?

It left mine.

 

In downpour,

The screams are fading from the

Pounding of the drops on my shoulders,

My back,

The arm above my eyes.

 

Black streets

Akin to bed sheets

Full of tears and muffled cries, screams

I wasted.

 

Days I pretended

The sun didn’t exist and

I could sleep till it stopped

Stinging

Like pins and needles,

Numbing,

Like Novocain.

 

And still, it rains.

And the air is like your breath.

Warm, safe, soft.

 

Do you remember

How it felt, alone,

Eyes closed,

Held tight,

Loved?

 

I’d rather not.

I’d rather exist here,

In the dark,

In the night.

Dreaming.

Hopeful that

Someday I’d wake.

Deep and powerful. Great visuals and it connected with me somehow. that's how I'd rather exist most days.

Wow, this is an incredibly deep and emotion stirring piece. Well written with enough detail to create a picture in the readers minds eye but theres still a good level of mystery. Well done!
