I'm the wind whistling outside your bedroom window.
I'm the headache accompanying your hangover.
I'm the shadow behind you, especially in darkness.
I'm the dirt beneath your feet.
The smoke in your lungs.
The cough when you've inhaled too much.
The slur in your drunken state.
The missed step that causes you to fall.
I'm the harmony that doesn't exist in your music.
The peace that fails before a war.
The problem but never the solution.
I'm the silence at a funeral.
The smile to an awkward hello.
The heartbreak that is coming like a train wreck.
I'm the reminder that not all things are;
Subtle, or meek, or naïve, or ignorant, or easy.
