....Rain

I sat and watched the rain fall,
The sky was muddy dark and grey
Much like my heart,
The sound of water lashing against the
window
Was almost hypnotic to my ears,
And my heartbeat kept the same rhythm
Like scars on my soul
Collected over the years.
I sighed and curled up tighter in my chair,
Water dripped through the open window
And fell on my face,
Like a single tear falling down my cheek
I was lost in my memories of the past awful
week.
And still the rain came down
Oblivious to the pain, my pain,
My body ached to feel you here
My soul sang out so you might hear,
My body groaned under the loss of feeling
you
Loving me, holding me, kissing me,
And yet I could not cry?
I could not shed a tear,
For you,
For me,
But the rain,
The rain fell like tears.
My tears.
Tearing me apart
Drip by drip
Drowning me slowly
But surely
In my heart.
