Author's Note: This poem doesn't really has a point of view, but I imagined, Tifa in her childhood staring out of her bedroom window, like Cloud used to look up at it. (Sigh) Can't really explain it, maybe it's just me being in a shitty mood... Hope ya like it, please read and review.
A Rainy Storm
...Sometimes I stare out of my bedroom window,
Watch the wind play with the leaves from the trees.
Watch the sky shed it's tears, that shatter on the ground.
Funny, how it all seems so familiar...
I'm lost from time to time.
My view is one blur.
Barbed wire surrounding me.
Someone exhaling against my skin...
I can't see them,
But I can hear them breathing.
Exhale.
The silence is killing me...
I can hear my own heart beating.
And it's slowing down with every... single.. beat.
Did you ever spin around so hard,
And you kept spinning, and spinning,
Until you had to stop,
Lost control over your own body?
Losing control.
Being controlled.
Forced.
My pain and fear, only helps building their lust.
I cry sometimes.
Over things that happened,
Things that could happen,
Even things I know that are going to happen.
Is it strange, to want someone who will tell you,
Everything is going to be okay?
Just, hide in their arms,
And cry until you have no more tears left?
To sit up with them all night,
Because you know they will listen?
To feel safe,
Just by hearing their heart beat.
It's soothing... Calming...
I need that heart beat,
I need them.
I do need someone to secure me.
Someone that will ease the pain,
From the many years of being stabbed in the back.
I'm scared to hold on,
Because I know one day,
You have no choice,
But to let go.
And it hurts.
It scares me.
But what hurts me more,
Is the fact I can't change it...
And every single time,
The clear liquid makes it's way down my cheek,
Every single time,
I cry myself to sleep,
I feel myself shatter on the ground.
...It's like hanging on a string, pushed around by the wind...
...It's like tears from the sky, endless salty liquid falling from my eyes...
