Sitting in the Dark by Jessica Singleton

Sitting in the grey 
of the dim room. 
Alone by the window.
Watching the storm outside.
I'm almost happy 
that I did not have 
to go through anything .
I am watching the world 
move on without me.
I have memories 
And 
I have my own rain.
It leaks from my soul.
That fateful door.
Opening a floodgate of truth.
It's 3:54 pm 
and no one is here but me. 
Silence fills my arms.

Some frail creature 
Innocent as a butterfly 
Broken heart 
Broken wing
She will refuse to fly again 
Until her pain subsides.
It is 4:03 in the middle of the day,
Calculating hands 
that play with numbers 
Time well spent.
It will all come full circle.
And return to the stoke of midnight.
Forever.
