Remember Me

I sit in stunned silence as the words are uttered. Emptiness floods my head as disbelief engulfs me. Tears, stark and angry fall like rain down my now ashen face.

Blistering ANGRY tears,

Scalding icy skin.

Trembling scared

Of the mess I'm in.

Clutched in my hand

Your spidery note
