He should Feel what I Feel
~~~
Standing by the window one morning blankly staring down the lane
Deep in ponder ... waking up
Fresh brewed coffee ... steaming hot
When suddenly I saw it
but through the rain my vision wasn't clear

So with eyes blinking ... I stepped closer
and wiped condensation from the pane

A nose pressed to the cold damp glass brought a shocking apparition from the past
It struck an arrow through my heart with ghostly pain

Coffee splashed upon the floor as I hastened toward the door
the pound of clapping thunder in my chest

Fumbling blindly at the lock slid it back and turned the knob
Raw desperation put sagging hinges to the test

Racing frantic through the rain wildly screaming out her name
tires spun as drunken driver sped away

There I sobbed ... upon the ground
hands gripping mud and nearly drowned

Naught before me but a memory ...
gone insane
~~~

This was emotional dynamite. Scary in the extreme.

Goodness, this felt like I had my nose
pressed against the window pane. And, I
was seeing the scene just as you wrote
it. I even read it over again to see if
I felt the same....I did.
I really hope this gets in the book.

Hugs,

we need a smilie with big eyes. Not so much the 'eek' one but something that says, 'this was so powerful I am speechless'
