Familiar stranger

The wind whistled
Passing through the leaves
My mind slipping
Between passive and active

When unexpectedly
I merely noticed a silhouette
Solely u on that empty ally
Or so u thought
Holding on to ur umbrella
A bowing head
On the wet bench
Accompanying the sky shedding tears

Under the dark
U howled along with the roaring landscape
The raw pain and agony
Dripping down the hem of ur jacket

The scarf that hid ur visceral fears
Shooked with the salt u poured
Ur eyes screaming solitarily
Screaming familiarity

And I too broke and melted
Letting go of everything for once
Limbs gave up
Holding myself by my chest
I found comfort in the pat of my palm on my shoulder
More soothing then a billion laughs
And I weakened my hold
Letting go of the bold for once.....
