Written by Richard Ankers and HastyWords
To lose yourself
In a puddle of rain
Image collected
Rippling in pain
To find yourself
Sitting in rust
Lips betrayed
By hollow trust
To see yourself
A ghost in the glass
Fade and return
But not too fast
To hear yourself
In a howling wind
Disembodied angst
Begging for an end
To weep as a raindrop
Flushed from the sky
Each droplet a memory
As though from your eye
