Rain pours, the dogs sleep, and Pandora shuffles my music. From a mason jar I drink my tea. Weather reflects one's mood. Loneliness, longing, insatiable "hunger" and depression burn within; my heart roasting. My mouth dries, pupils enlarge, beat quickens... drool oozing down my chin as Death takes me home.

This poem is about: 
Me
