Without and Within

• Artist: DH88
• Description: This one is one I had actually forgotten about. I had written it to a friend in an E-mail one night, and recently she sent it back to me asking me if I remembered writing it. Of course I didn;t but she assured me I did. It semeed to match the flow of my work though, so I've taken it in. The more I read it, the more I realise that I DID in fac write it... Enjoy. ^_^

Pounding, dripping, falling down,
Rolling, burning, crashing sound.
Flash of light that fills the sky,
Fills my room as I sit and cry.

The storm is raging, nature's sin,
But it can't compare to my storm within.
I squeeze my eyes shut to hold it in,
But it all flows out, I just can't win...

I find solace though, hearing the rain,
The sound washing away my pain.
The wind hurls the drops against the window's glass,
Like tiny lives extunguished so fast.

I look outside, my face hot and wet,
The rain has slowed, but hasn't ended yet.
The storm is dying, both without and within,
I pull back the knife, saving my skin.

The rain has come and erased all my pain,
I can only hope it returns if this happens again...
Now it's all over, all is now calm
I wipe the tears from my face with my still shaking palm.

Water drips from my rooftop, and now I lay back,
My eyes slowly close as my mind fades to black...

I REMEMBER THIS ONE. YOU POSTED IT ON GCMB. It was always my favorite of your works... And it still is! Beautifully written, probably one of your best.
