            It was as if a slash of lightning, singed through me like

            a comet in the dead of night.


            It was as if a snarl of thunder, screamed alongside my weeping heart as I watched you go,

            leaving nothing but a faint echo.


            It was as if the clouds leaked

            with blood of ink

            now spilled across these sheets.


            And just like taciturn kisses planted on your skin, I will be the heavy rain to leave you drenched and cold.


           But never as cold as you.
