Bomb

Static

finds me everywhere

like the bombs that go off in the night,
for eight months straight.

I can't save you.

The clouds are coming,
out west,
covering the meadow lands with rain and
twisters and crisp deaths
My love is nothing comparable.

yet it is yours

and for the last time you have lost it

It will not spit out again

I can't.
the static
gets so loud
the radio stops playing
and the feeling leaves me
ugly

You have to end this madness.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Not one of my best, but a very personal one. It's harder to write a poem with truths then it is with falsities.
