Mania


You were a force of nature

Sweet and stormy

Waiting for the next open window

The room couldn't contain you

We braced for your entrance

How could we know

You could barely contain yourself

Even though you tried

To keep your hair restrained

Roping it high on your head

Pinned into submission

How could you know

That the storms would come again

Gusty fog and rain

Your hair falling in wild wet

We embraced for your entrance

But you never came

The doctors looked everywhere

But they couldn't even find you 

In the end
