Achedrops
It dropped like raindrops
But they were salty, unlike raindrops
And like raindrops
It made things grow
Sometimes in a row
Grow
Grow pain
Grow misery
Grow loneliness
Grow hate
Grow withdrawal
Like raindrops
There was something at the end
Just not a rainbow
A heartache in a bow
But just like raindrops, from rain
I prayed for it
But unlike raindrops
I prayed for it to stop
Not to pour
But it did
I called it achedrops
And tomorrow night
Is yet another overcast..
