the Tv.

raindrops
pelting on the rooftops
above me
i can hear it,
so softly it sings to me.
raindrops
how i wish they would
break through the sheild
above me
how i wish they could save me
how plainly wash me away
gently down the alleyway.

crackling
goes the thunder
so loudly vibrating against these four walls
im caged to
sinking in my chair
and its fabric gluing me in
wishing
to escape now
and be out now
from these four walls
that keep the rain from rushing in.

fogging
up the windows
as i ease my breath upon them
its soothing and forgettable
of the things you wanted away
traces
in the window
let you look beyond the glass
and though your on the other side
you still cant see quite past.

the windows
now pounding
with tiny pellets of hail
the sky blackens
into a sea of midnight
traces of it's dark wedding veil
makes me step back
yet, curious
into the dasters of this storm.

crouched down
in a closet now
suffocating from little air
power's out
phone's too
tv's off
along with the radio
silence now
is the only sound i hear
and i close my eyes
hug my pillow
gripping out fear.

crashes
and walls cave in around me
but im safe inside that closet
from what i can tell
im alone in the house
and my screams i cant tell
if they came from you
or the ones inside my head
and i keep my eyes closed
from this nightmare
i went unprepared for.

morning comes
with a rude awakening, and i tumble out
from the mess
im stunned to find everything in tact
and realize it was just
another of my
midnight nightmares
and i grab my teddy and a pillow
and walk into the hallway
sitting on the couch
i grab the remote
to click the Tv on
only to find
the
Tv's
not



there.
