Rain
Drumming down
on my windowpane
an uneven
rhythm
A broken pace
a sad girl
staring out
into the street
Rain clouds, gray,
dark, covering my
whole world in a
sheet of cold
Icy water beating down
as I stare out
into the misty fog
alight with wonders
If only I could find them
Every time you have
a broken heart
you lose a piece of it
so it slowly diminishes
until you find that
you want to keep it close
lest you lose
any more
One more piece of mine
has left me
has gone out into
the shivering cold
of a March night
As I wait once more
for the pain to pass
Waiting for something
that will give me hope
Dried tear tracks
stain my face
As I look into
the cold, wet world.
But I watch the sun rise
the world filling with color
The vibrant pink
Subtle red
Bright orange
The darkness of night
transforming into the
brightness of a new day
I peer into the world
clutching the remains of my
tattered heart
I walk out the door
Unready to begin
feeling like the earth is
moving too quickly
for me to catch up
But I don't care
I'm running out onto the street
now bathed in sunlight
I look up
The storm has passed
Love is here.
