When I witnessed a rare fragility of the rain unbecoming—pouring its madness, tears following the wind that brings me to a place where I knew I witnessed an unfortunate crime, an absence of an absolute evil—cruel crime I would not be able to forget; the great tragedy of what was once. It was all I saw. It was all I felt. It was all I knew. The comfort and the gruesome thought of being a witness to it all—to the chaos, the fraudulent rage of the supposed love I knew; until I became a victim of it. …and the absence of my answered prayer turned to basking in idiotic romantic fantasies I had built. All that interested me was the world I created inside this big rotten head of mine. What an unfortunate time to be a witness in an unfortunate crime called: the absence of love. While odd things create reality, dreams do come true, a bittersweet goodbye turns to a sweet return. All I know is once in a while, there comes an absence. How do I return the sparks back?

The Witness in an Unfortunate Crime

for the love that disappeared quietly. in a rushed hush tone, familiar random day a few years back. song: lover, you should’ve come over - jeff buckley
