Storm

18-Oct-2019

This poem is describing a storm coming in because of a toxic person coming back into your life. I couldn't relate personally to this poem.

It's coming

My eyes are tensely flickering

My hands are trembling

Maybe it's a storm coming right at me

I've closed all the doors

I've locked all the windows

Maybe it's a tsunami coming to drown me

I've backed down to a corner

I've concealed my face in my hands

Maybe it's an earthquake coming to put me straight into my grave

I hear a loud thud

I feel numb and cold

I can't take it anymore

I let out a blood chilling scream

I finally see it

It's not a storm, or a tsunami or an earthquake

All the doors are being broken down

All the windows are being shattered

It's chaos all around me

It's her

She's come back

She's penetrated through all the defences my heart put up

My heart's stopped beating

I see death coming

It's put me into its arms

It's taking me away

I see her smiling at my lifeless body as I depart

She looks up

Our gazes meet

She comes close

She embraces my lips with hers

I close my eyes

Her lips turn into stones

Her teeth turn into thorns

Her tongue turns into a blanket of fire

I open my eyes

I'm in hell
