Sea at Dusk

The waves stood still that night

As I stood in the window and watched the sea

The clouds rolled in

There was a sense of silence all around

The wind blew my hair slightly around my face

I reached for another sip

Lightning crashed

As I put the glass down and walked through the room

I stopped and noticed my reflection

I leaned in

What have I become

When did this happen

My life is good

I travel for work

My only friend on these long lonely trips

Is the glass in my hand

I shut the light off by the bed

And headed back to the window

I reached for the glass

It dropped

It broke

I watched as the rain started to come down

Slowly raindrops rolled onto the table

Washing away that poison

If only the rain could do the same for me

I hold out my hand

Hanging out the window

Rain at my fingertips

Thunder all around

I take a deep breath

I close the window

And run my wet hand through my hair

Without picking up the broken shards of glass

I go to bed with him

I walk in the clouds, I sing in the dust

Heavy. So heavy I couldn't breath.

Excellent write. Absolutely excellent.
