I Am Not Worthy

clouds burst with shadowed fear
and i am encompassed in a deluging
rainfall

streaming with intense marvel, i seek 
not refuge from the pelting showers 
that envelope me in sorrow-
for i deserve to drown in my regret

salt pours down my cheeks-
i am forsaken once again, lost in lonely 
memories with inundating emotions of 
loss and remorse

i feel not the wet,
all i sense is the desire to be cleansed
and bathed in hope without being 
drenched in spiritual apathy

as the rain laments down my arms,
all the way to my wrinkled toes,
i cannot help but remember the loss 
of love i endured last week

so here i stand;
body soaked in despair and disarray-
awaiting my heart becoming a myriad
of affection…
              once again
