After the threat of storm and the no-show The sky was a blaze of sunset hues and Double rainbows, as if sorry for the fuss earlier She drove towards the sunset wondering When the credits will roll, in the rear view mirror The rainbows have been replaced by dark clouds It turned so quickly and without warning Her phone, face up in the passenger seat Vibrating, his name lighting up the screen Her black eye throbbing with every pulse She ran out of doors to run into so She just stopped running into other people Outside the sky showed different faces Her life had always been about Chasing sunsets and running from storms Sometimes she couldn’t get away fast enough He would apologise, faithfully She would believe him, always She could hear his messages dropping into her inbox Each message delivered as fists Last night, she had her senses pounded into her And it finally broke through She drove towards the sunset knowing She no longer cared about eggshells
