Sorrow

why, why she falls to her knees in front of the gravestone and buries her face in her hands reality begins to set in and her mascara begins to mix with her tears the wind starts to howl sending dirt flying up into the air an abrupt noise interrupts her sorrow removing her drenched face from her soaked hands she noticed he was staring deeply into the sky standing tall, with the brim of his hat shadowing his eyes thunder is heard off in the distance as she notices a big storm rolling in lightning flashes as again the thunder sounds looking back at her brother searching for answers she gasps for breath when she notices an awkward half smile on his face followed by a single tear rolling down his cheek confused and lost in a sea of uncertainty she begins to ponder what thoughts are running through his mind then he simply mutters "its going to rain today"
