I love how the thunder cracks
and rips apart my eardrums
as I stand out in the rain
trying to be hit by a lightning bolt
to see if it warms my heart any.

Its numb from being frozen
and the rain thats seeps
through my skin
trickles in a pattern
like a teardrop
and freezes at the edge.


And I Swear
if I gave you my heart
it would drop twenty more degrees
and shatter on the floor.


And my paralyzed fingers
would pick up the pieces
and the jagges edges
would cut the tips of my fingers
and I would bleed on my heart.


Every beat is slower
with paralyzing posion
pumping through my veins
and arteries
leading back to my heart.

Carbonated blood
pumping through my
right atrium
and ventricle
poisoning them
and suffocating them.


And in the end
I'll still be out here in the rain
waiting for the lightning bolt to strike
breathing through cracked lungs.



(something I started like a few hours ago.... and just now finished.... not bad for being in a writers block.... and I was listening to the same song for hours because it somehow inspired the first stanza...the song is Cant Stop Lovin' You-
Van Halen....dunno how it inspired me)
