~BLACK RAIN~

~BLACK RAIN~

Another rainy stormy night,
nothing will ever feel the same.
Thunder makes me fear with fright,
Theirs no way to call your name.
To be alone is no delight,
here I am alone with shame.
It runs trough me like day and night,
lonesome here for playing my game.
I wish you where here to hold me real tight.
Forgive me for I am  the only one to blame.

A darken rainy stormy night!
Here I whither away in the BLACK RAIN!
In that selfish moment I did not realize,
all I was doing was causing myself pain.
You took and shook me with a big surprise!
And, showed me that my cheating had nothing to gain.
With you in distance I lose my self,
sitting all alone in the BLACK RAIN.

BLACK RAIN, BLACK RAIN!
Please stop the pain, its my love I want to gain.

Tears from me you wouldn't take.
It was my fault to take the fall.
It does not mean my love to you was fake.
Without you I feel real small.
The hurt runs deep~Deeper than a lake!
The hurt runs high~Higher than the tallest wall!
The hurt is heavy~something you can't shake!
The hurt is like a mystery~you can't solve at all! 
BLACK RAIN!

How these cloud posses my way,
I have no one to blame.
If I knew exactly what to say,
I would not be feeling all this pain.
BLACK RAIN,
is here to stay!
I have lost what took long to gain.

BLACK RAIN, BLACK RAIN,
please go away!
I want my lover to come back my way.

    Irma, Thunder and heavy rain can seem so scary and would seem to add to tears of pain, yet here in Hawaii it doesn't thunder when it rains most always and the rain brings me joy, but I do understand what you mean in your introspective poem. Blessings, Connie

    "BLACK RAIN" ~ Its Always sad to find such potential sorrow within Anyones life dear lady but, hopefully this is from 96' and if not then, but a creative verse in regards to Your Precious Self of merely fiction although, for many, it regretfully holds such truth and yet, "The Sun 'Always' Shine Upon Tomorrow ~ "Profoundly Stirringly Beautiful Poem of Loves Bittersweet" ~ ....Cont:)
