Interesting . . . for some reason, at the poem's beginning, I could suddenly see this worked into a melodic song.
Hmm, let me read it again . . .
Your use of metaphor seems particularly strong in this poem, which I love, especially with the title of a "Windiest Day;" and the line breaks add a mysterious, dark character to the poem's expression:

"anything would've been
easier than
life"

It reminds me of taking quick, shallow breaths to thoroughly pronounce each word.

I have to stop reading your poems, I feel so ignorant and simple when I read
your work!

To steal a sentence from one of my fave movies:
"It's like the words were just waiting for you to find them"


Your words chase away all the sanity in me...

Hey, now that line's one of Amy's ;)

I took the last sentence from Evanecsence...
