Gutter flooded,
I try walking backwards
a desperate hope that I can turn back

You shook me awake-
I try vanishing,
unseen

you’ve got me praying
for a miracle

please go away,
please go away


I’m not here

The dotted line
you see plainly drawn,
never able to leave.


Iced your window
My shadow still visible
Fade for me,
remove
this
pain



Dub me evanescent-
And I’ll
shimmer
for a second.

And
then
I’m
gone

Okay how the hell can a chick so young be so damn good at emoting/writing? Once again you impress with your ability...you write beyond your years, and of course I relate to your words again.
This is a way cool write...and the ending - double damn!

Cool word..."evanescent".  Unique, creative (I love it) presentation.  And the ending...classic Wind!

"I try vanishing unseen"--great line!

One may not be able to see the wind, but like the wind, your presence can be felt and your spunky spirit flows through your pen and into your writing.

Loving hugs,
