Aftermath
it's simple really
i have fallen in love with that feeling
the feeling right after the aftermath of a love that dies
it's a horrible feeling
but yet...there is almost pleasure in the pain
picture the day after a hurricane has destroyed everything
and you are still alive and well...but at the same time amazed at the loss
and you walk the streets, looking...picking at the remains
"Such ordinary remains..."
towels, wood...mostly wood...the foundation...everything else seemingly is gone
but it's an eery feeling
you know bad has happened
you know that something has gone wrong
but you feel so secure and so reassured that life is still moving on
and that you have no cares in the world as to what happens to you right now
this is the feeling I am in love with
and this is the feeling that I have right now
I don't know how much longer i will have it
but I will savor it, knowing that this is as confident as I will ever be
