A Rainy Day In November

It’s a rainy day in November The sun I can’t remember It’s dark when I rise And to no surprise It’s dark when the work day ends. It was a rainy day in November The year I can’t remember She packed her stuff And left in a huff As our marriage came to an end. All my days are rainy Novembers No more fire in the embers Twelve months a year My sky never clears Happiness, I can only pretend. It’s a rainy day in November I wrote a letter that I’ll never send her I did her wrong Now I sing this song With a refrain that never ends. It’s a rainy day in November…

here's an umbrella, Joe-- what a sad, sad write-- but I know this gotta be fictional! I enjoyed this nonetheless... that refrain worked really well for your poem-- and hmm fickle me is saying that I am nikko-koo-koo- today, haha (seriously though, thanks for your very kind & inspiring comments! ^_^)-- hope December would be sunny though....

This could be a song....one that I would listen to on a car radio...I can almost visualize driving down a dark highway listening to these words, and feel the emotion sting my eyes. Should be put to music, soft, sweet and sad. :)
