colder the r(p)ain falls
against skin
pressing me
towards shelter
needling the numb
in place of finger’s warmth
dissipating
disintegrating memories
I’ve forgotten now
where the erosion
has sacrificed
metaphor instead of flesh
tearing me
one word at a time
droplets
of poetry
bleeding
me
to silence
washing over me

swallowing my voice

breathe your ink
into me
into me
into the hollow
reasoning

of why
I exist

and of why
muted needs lie

begging at your feet.

You have an unique writing style. This poem potrays a silent ending.

I speak insanity. I write fantasy. I sleep reality.

Wow Dawn! I am speechless!

I always knew looking back on the tears would make me laugh, but I never knew looking back on the laughter would make me cry.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

The whole poem was all great, I can't pick out the lines I liked best, because...I like them all. I've read it a few times by now, and I'm replying to say...well, that I loved it, I guess.
