Tornado


Fall away in the desperation of the world

I will always be that lost cause

The disastrous life that will always be broken,

The beautiful one that gave you momentary pause.

With the destruction of me

Comes the destruction of your heart.

If you stay

You will only watch your heart and mind come apart.

I am meant to be alone

So I do not see the people I break.

Do not be one of the empty and confused.

Be whole when you wake.

The tornado is just passing through.

It is looking for you.
