Blood and Rain

 


- Blood and Rain -


She has this fear

Uncontrollable

Uncontainable

She drives in the rain

Top down

Music loud

So very loud

She needs the noise

The distraction

The escape from the fear

A fear which creeps

And worms its way

Under her skin

She can feel it crawling

Searching for something

The car swerves

Onto the sidewalk

As she claws at her arm

Ragged nails tearing

Leaving bloody trails

She screams

Her hatred into the storm

The hatred of a victim

She can still smell him

Strong on the midnight rain

Her salty tears intermingle

With the blood and the rain

She can feel him watching her

She can see his eyes

Soulless eyes, uncaring eyes

Watching her and waiting

The car grinds to a halt

A shower of sparks

Like lost stars

Falling and dying

To the earth

The heavenly graveyard

She wakes later

Sluggishly

Like trying to awaken

From an acid dream

She awakens to their laughter

Which hurts even more

Than the atrocity

Which he has committed

The soul breaking laughter

That caused a ride through

Blood and rain
