Human Storms
In the empty night,
Where the wind
Holds sway.
The only light
A headlight flare
Of a passing car
And memories
Of what we were.
I'm struggling now
With loneliness
And fear,
Uncertain
Where we go
From here—
Wondering
If we should
Begin again,
Lost and numb
As the day
You left,
Bereft and afraid…
Abandoned
In the pouring rain.
