a tempest
rising
acknowledge me.
you can't
feel me
still.
i scream
attacking
your skin
your eyes.
i cry
an echo of
sorrow
sliding
down
a cheek.
you
unmoving
clinging.
a memory
an illusion-
sunny days.
scared
defiant.
cemented in
treason:
ignorance
stupidity
pain
past.
ha!
the tempest
unable to move
a man
unable to sway
a heart.
the weak
passing breeze
away
unnoticed
still.
