Emotional Saturation

When you feel like your entire being is saturated by the essence of another, everything they are and everything they feel overwhelms every part of you and every tiny space inside your heart.  It overflows as bittersweet salted tears wrenched from your soul upon your cheeks.  As the wind whisks the drops of sorrow from your fevered skin, it carries away the evidence of your pain and leaves a throbbing hollow unfulfilled deep inside; one that is hidden by lightless eyes and the flat mask of a smile.

3am

The train whistle shatters the silence announcing the arrival of the massive steel snake blowing through town. When the pitch and fervor die I can hear the clackity clack of the forged wheels tearing over the tracks, clawing and pulling the massive beast through the darkness. 

 3am. 

The witching hour in true. And with a whoosh of air, stillness returns to the small unsuspecting town. The stars peek out from the clouds sprinkling their sandman dust and the oblivious world resumes its slumber.  Now so must I.
