Hurricane

The quiet pain, A bitter remembering. The memories come like a flood Drowning the only happiness that remains. She gasps for air as her life fades But the pain keeps falling Wet from the sky. Struggling to break the surface She is caught by the waves Again and again Until she gives in to the cascade And sinks Deeper. But then a light A light shines in the distance And she rises Grasping the hope of the light. The water drains She is alive again. She is okay until the next Hurricane of tears That breaks her apart Again.
