A thousand tiny knives ricocheted off my body, leaving an innumerable amount of tiny cuts

then like acid, the rain comes

that's how it would feel

like that of the Greek tragedy of Julius Caesar

like that of the horrific event of the Titanic

that's how it would feel 

like being in a car crash but I am the only one who had survived

that's how it would feel

like ten thousand nails on a chalkboard screaming inside my head

the sound of thousands of quarters trickling down to the floor droning on for hours

that's how it would sound

like everything to live for was minute

that's how it would feel

that's how it would feel if you walked away

Author's Note

don't ever leave me

The journey spoken to is fine with grace of hand in guiding the quill passionately with conviction of spirit. Truly meaningful share that is rich in expression, flow of movement, applying the right emotions to bring the view with artistry in penning from the heart. A great read and share indeed... The imagery is staggering by the use of dramatic / extreme " visuals" : "A thousand tiny knives ricocheted off my body.. / ..horrific event of the Titanic.. / being in a car crash .. / ten thousand nails on a chalkboard screaming inside my head... / sound of thousands of quarters trickling down to the floor..." - A deep piece of poetry, poignant at time, yet rather beautiful in its own poetic sense...
