hot summer raindrops boil like memories on my skin, and i remember when the wind helped destroy the power surge within me. i am pure electricity and i hope i am strong enough to cause a blackout in the place we stole small caresses: the eye of the storm. thunder booms and i am consumed more and more with my loud tongue and vapid thoughts; not instinct, but rather, taught. i seemed to have forgotten or lost the notion that someone else could want me in your sultry words, sparked with lies. i will keep the narcissism, but you can close your eyes against the onslaught and get the **** out; and no, i do not care if you get soaked. i have had enough to know i do not need you anymore and that this is only a joke to you. i am a thunderstorm and you will only drown in the downpour.
the origins of this poem are the scalding hot shower I took this morning to try to numb myself for awhile
