Dissipate

it was amusing
how it happened
like brushfire
like flood
one moment there
and then suddenly
gone

i know it happened
because i saw it
and i didn't know
if it was blood in my eyes
but it was red stained somewhat
not like water
but more like fire

and i know it happened
because i felt it
hot and scalding
cutting a path down my cheeks
like knife cold
and glinting in the moonlight
not like fire
but more like water

and there was a light missing
and a note blown by the wind
(silently, cruelly)
with a message unread
and will remain a dream
unchased, unimportant
but suddenly
gone

the storm is really giving its best shot tonight. maybe i shouldn't have been so angry, or so sad. even the power's out. i hope it gets fixed soon. lappie's battery will last for another two hours at most, and i haven't charged little podi yet. plus, i slept earlier this evening so sleep won't be easy to catch in the next few hours.

and here's a secret... i'm scared of the dark.
