Anything but the rain

During a silent and rainy night they came, uninvited. They easily made their way inside. Helplessly I could only sit and watch as they began to take it all away. 

In a flash, gone were all our memories together, I could barely remember the sound of her voice or the hints of her smell. All of them disappeared in an instant as well. And I stood and watched silently as they did it.

My laugher and smile, my sadness and tears, even my anger and hate. All emotions where syphoned out of me. Red, green, blue, yes even blue, all colors and shapes were gone; none remained. I didn't say a word. The warmth and the cold. Their company and their rejection, my entire sense of humanity gone in an instant.

I became a husk, nothing more than an empty shell, as they systematically gathered and stole every part of me. In that humid black and white night, I gave up on everything; there was nothing left. 

Then they took the rain. Before I could notice a hollow shout poured out of my pores with extreme violence - "Anything but the rain!". And then it finally stopped raining.
