A Drop Fell Down

Beneath a sunless blue I cradled unspent dreams with you
Thunder came down and sent all things scattering to the hard ground
All our pretty dreams fell underneath the leafless tree and by the rigid streams
My hand struck out to find yours there only to find the shell of all unfulfilled prayers
Every raindrop that shattered across this plainly sea crushed down to bury 
beautiful you and cowering me
