Wind + Rain

I was in the cold wind and rain in those days 

On that evening

The laughter and excitement of

Our friend being back home

Was looming in the air. 


I knew her.

She didn’t know me though,

Even though we had always been friends


I stood with everyone else

Pretending to be a part of them,

But the tension in the air

Was saying everything it needed.


I looked at her

She glanced at me


The people tucked me into them

They mixed me into the poison

I became part of it

maybe the worst part


Maybe I would be better off gone-

Not a part of it


She said it was okay

We were all like this


What did we do to each other?

We love each other.

I answered.


Then why did we tear each other to pieces?
