A Love Poem?

The lone man plays with agony

I see a man crying for lost memories
Sitting alone in a dark room
On a somber night

There is a storm rolling in
I can hear it
Low rumbles signal its arrival

He closes his eyes
Presses his hands to his head
And breaks away

He’s soaring to unknown heights
But traveling to known places
And he remembers

In the dark room he sits
Holding himself for comfort
I try to reach out, but stop

He cries out in agony
Only to be ignored by
Silent ghosts and the rumbling storm

The curtains dance
The only reminder
Of passing time

Silence is the only sound
Inside the room,
Inside the man’s head

Outside a ferocious storm rages
Trying in vain
To wash away the agony
