do you know who i am?

the wind was merciless
that day,
whipping through my hair,
destroying delicate thoughts
rushing through
to the unavoidable.

the rain beat down on me,
punishing,
knowing i will never agree
but still trying, ceaselessly
to change my mind.

the trees were howling with regret
the streets were lined with unhappiness
the lights flickered with warning
the darkness screamed and cried out.

all trying
to keep me
away from you.

all in vain.
