~When the Wind Cries~

When the wind cries

Where will we all go?

Dry eyes and cold teeth

Is all we'll be left with.

Flying shutters and vibrating panes

Seeping dust into the lungs.

Frost in creases,

Iced over fog.

Shining leaves and dark skies.

The rush of dread;

The tears of death,

Nippy hands and dry frowns.

When the wind ceases

The flesh leaves us too,

Revealing cracked bones and lost hope.

Left in the dark,

In our broken home,

Six feet underground;

With nowhere we can hope to go.
