Dreams Fall Apart

Raindrops pelting your window, commiserate with your pain. And simulating teardrops; trickle slowly down the pane. You left home on an impulse, chasing love at seventeen. And although you trusted him, he abruptly fled the scene. Reality devastates; as you comprehend your fate. For your heart has been betrayed; and love has morphed into hate. Left all alone and pregnant; you cannot conceal your shame. And as your eyes fill with tears, you know life won't be the same. Your hands cannot stop trembling; watching your life fall apart. And anguish begins to gnaw at the insides of your heart. From a fetal position; you witness the heavens cry. And stare up at the raindrops; falling from a sobbing sky.

What strong imagery, Emile : "In a fetal position you watch as the heavens cry. And stare up at the droplets falling from a sobbing sky."
