Crazy

I hear the loudest thunder

But the sun is shining

I know what has happened

That thunder has come from upstairs

 

I take my time

It is almost to quite now

I knew he was sad

Why wouldn’t he be

 

He was living with me

I walk down the streets

Someone sees

They whisper to each other

 

“there goes the crazy lady”

 

I open the door

I see him

Floating in his own sea

I smile

 

He cant yell anymore

He cant cry

He cant tell me

He loves me

 

I don’t pick up the phone

I just want to hold him

Look into his eyes

One last time

 

His head hangs over my arm

Like a limp doll

His body

Soaked in blood

 

Maybe I am crazy

I drag him downstairs

Set him up in the chair

Then leave for work

 

I don’t tell anyone

They will take him away

I go home from work

He’s still there

 

“honey I’m home”
