In this, deserted Desert
In this, ravenous Rain
In this, barren Blizzard

The only sense I use
Is my hearing
Because the only thing I can hear,

Are the howls of pain-
Pleading their lives onto mine.

Are the pellets of gunshots-
Reverberating through bodies of flesh and steel.

And the eventual silence-
This silence asking me why I couldn't do more.

Cry, Cry, Cry-
It's an impulse only I can feel right now.
Only to wait and see what happen next with salty tears streaming my face.

Then, as I sit here
Through these imagined
Deserts,
Rainstorms,
And blizzards.

I wonder when my mind,
Will say
"You look handsome."

Without having,
Someone else
Take the string from my mouth and weave words I've never thought possible-

And I see what I haven't saw before
The clearing of these storms
Leads me to happiness-

With his hands around mine
All I feel is jubilee
So all I do is

Cry-

Based on that choking feeling I get when I cry, and how I always wanted it go away.
