Smoke and Tears

The first tear strolls down her face
As it lunges off her chin, it joins the falling rain
The tear clashes with a raindrop
Just as her life clashed with another
The mistakes haunt her
She loses many with these choices
Why? She asks.
Looking to the sky, she screams.
Why does my pain ripple to others?
Grumbling thunder answer with anger
Not even an innocent storm listens
The wind whispers her losses harshly in her ear
The lightning strikes, bolting her memories
Instead of the pain being washed from her
She is drenched in it
More tears stroll
More tears clash
No sign of relief
There is no light

    Fall seven; stand up eight…

    =]] Wow I really like that. That’s a much more profound way to say that whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.
