The Aftermath

Wish I could have told you


Straight to your face


How I would fade

The power of the hurricane


The anger in the thunder


The gusts in the tornado


The aftershock of the earthquake


The fissures in the ground

All the birds have migrated


They've gone somewhere warm


Found somewhere they can nest


I was too empty for them

I was a hostile environment


But I learned to fight my demons


And I replaced the birds


Now I can swallow fire

But somehow


I still feel cold.
