.you can see the thunder and hear the lightning
.!now! you're awake
.but, this sweat makes it hard to tell
.you've been crying in your sleep
.the humidity has turned your makeup into
....a plaster mask thanks to those tears
.with just a few more minutes in this heat
....you'll be able to release your face from
....the mold you applied all those hours ago
.who you were today lying a generic
....cavernous and blank on sticky sheets
.you get up and watch the dark fall
.even with those sharp lightning pushes
....the thunder could shatter the shadows
.you wouldn't want to miss it
.and awake numb ignoring is always
....better than vulnerable unconscious
.you cant shield yourself when emotions leak free
