I'm holding back the tears
Walking back on a dreary Tuesday
Cold drops pelting my head
Into a maelstrom of
Anger, desperation, and defeat.
I shove the headphones into my ears
Hoping to drown out
The negativity.
Shuffle songs--
The song that reminds me of you
Plays quietly into me,
Down to the part of me that I was hoping to forget
To the part of my being that wants more.
More.
I press skip,
Speed up my pace
And let my tears mix with the cold beating upon my face.
