The Day My World Stood Still
A single rain drop falls down my face
Its cold touch sending shivers down my spine
The storm closes in on me
Fading any memory of the bright day.
I work my way through the crowd
I hear it
A call of my name, and a whistle
My heard jerks to the left
There he is.
My face drains of color
My heart nearly stops
I freeze
Panicking.
He calls me again
Waving his hand to me
Motioning me to him
I cant move
I don't want to move.
I close my eyes and pray
This isn't real
That hes not here
That I'm just imagining it.
I open my eyes
And to my disappointment
Find it all too real.
I slosh through the rain
My mind already shutting down
Preparing for the impact of this
He speaks to me.
I give him useless answers
Nothing he can egg his way into
I'm numb.
From the rain
From the cold
But mostly this.
