Jun 24
i wander the crowded malls in my dreams.
as they were in my high school days.
hand in hand with a burning love that i would never let die,
eventually snuffed out in the autumn rains.
i could see my breath then
in that kind of rain that was meant for summer
but the storms clouded the september skies and rained like hell
the metallic smell of rain hung in the air
and she held me in a faint embrace like a mother.
the red on my skin was washed away in the rain
and my shirt was dyed red
i reached for her hand
to drag her down with me
but she shuddered
and I cried out in agony.
