either I or the wind - 12/31/02 04:24 PM
<either I or the wind>
standing outside my office
the wind whipped around me
causing all the hairs on my
arm to stand straight up
Finding a tree, I sought shelter
and for a moment
the bitter cold seemed to lose
track of where I was
but soon enough, the currents of air
made it's way round the tree and
once again left me shivering
such is my memory of you
the shots I take, the drinks I consume
they protect me and build a temporary
wall around my mind
although fleeting, at least for a moment
I can forget what I once held
I can forget my regret
I can forget my mistakes
I can forget this pain
walking back inside I found solace
from the cold in this heated building
sitting at my desk I completely forgot
about the wind still blowing so vilolently outside
I have yet to find such a haven from my mind
so I'll keep hiding behind my shots and my drinks
hoping that eventually
either I or the wind
will just stop
altogether
