I stood for an eternity alone,
letting the water fall onto my face.
The rivulets descended from my back,
pattering in a quiet crescendo.
I closed my eyes and the still warm water
turned to cold cruel rain that stung my face.
The familiar tiles beneath my naked foot,
became damp dank grass covered in moist mud.
I was clothed in your favourite small white dress
that dripped with tears and rain from the sad sky.
The steady stream became a thunder storm,
where echoes transformed into memories.
The bright flourescent white became dark grey,
as the gloom overtook any respite.
I stood bravely against the elements,
defying nature's call for me to fall.
Alas I am simply merely mortal,
all my strenght left my limbs and crumbled.
I fell again this time not on grass but
white tiles in an empty quiet bathroom.
Warm water descended with my warm tears,
embracing my cold shivering body.
