Raindrops Dripping To The Ground

Feeling miserable, 
And upset with my actions. 
Feeling like I am in a boat load, 
Of trouble.
I look out my window, 
And see, 
Raindrops, 
Drip, drip, dripping,
Slowly, 
On to the lush green grass.

It’s like the weather can read my mind, 
And sense my emotions.
I long to be outside, 
Feeling the raindrops 
Drip, drip, dripping,
Onto me.
But I am too miserable to move, 
And stay curled up on the couched,
Wrapped in blankets with a cup of coffee,
Wishing I could turn back time,
And start things over. 

Soon like the raindrops 
Dripping to the ground 
Tears start to drip, drip, drip 
down my face 
And still 
I sit their staring out the window 
at the raindrops 
Drip, drip, dripping 
slowly to the ground

Dear Emily, this is so well expressed and emotive. It’s so real and many will relate to it. The raindrops, that reflect like a mirror to you, as you stare out of the window in deep thought is so touching. The crying rain is in sync with you as your own teardrops fall as you reminisce unable to move. A heartfelt read which I found very moving and resonate with. Thank you for sharing. Have a great weekend :)
