Mourning

Obscenities scream in my head
Carbonated bubbles bounce mercilessly
Against the uniformed tin cans
The quickened pounding betrays me
Tears, the second traitor

My precious sanctuary lies in ruins
Destroyed by disease
Marred by illness proven invincible
Demolished, obliterated
Erased

Fumes invade my body
Nausea renders my spirit useless
Overwhelming waves of emotions crash
Releasing ocean spray so dangerous
I shrink from anticipation and spoiled dreams

Lightning cracks omniously off the cliff
Crackling dryly in the moist air
I long for the electrifying shock to free me
Falling silently I shut my eyes to the pain
The thunder echos my repressed screams
