Natural I like the feel of rain, a mix of hope and pain. As the drops sting my face, I start slowing my pace. Nature understands me and my reality. Raindrops are not gentle tears but more liquid spears. And I lose myself in that hurt, my mind inert. Betrayal broke my heart, and my dreams fell apart. To filter love from lust, my hopes relied on trust. Now, nothing feels the same, and I’m crying in shame. The rain helps to conceal my tears and calm my fears. Visual I like the feel of rain; a mix of hope and pain. As the drops sting my face, I start slowing my pace; Nature understands me and my reality. 7-Raindrops are not gentle tears, 5-but more liquid spears. 8-And I lose myself in that hurt 4-my mind inert. Betrayal broke my heart and my dreams fell apart. To filter love from lust, my hopes relied on trust. Now, nothing feels the same; and I’m crying in shame. 8-The rain helps to conceal my tears 4-and calm my fears.

My dear Emile such a beautiful rhyming poem, yet resonate deep heartfelt feelings with intense feeling, strong emotions at play here and nice use of the dramatic fallacies where your natural emotions was in harmony with the natural environment ...while you were crying it was raining.
