Petrichor
I saw you in the middle of the road
While the sky weeps
It's as if the world stopped when your life
Fell into bits.
Your face was full of raindrops-
Or should I say your tears?

I envy you-
When you cry, they howl
Fall and crowds await below to catch you
You wander and get lost, they miss you.

But when I'm gone,
I am just...
GONE.

No one comes to find me,
Everyone is blind to my tears,
Ignorant of my existence.

You're like a petrichor,
The smell that people love when it rains.

While I'm just a dust in the wind
Vanishes the moment the sky weeps.
