Silent Pain

As he waited for the streetcar
that he had waited for so many times before
at this very spot
he thought
the weather is so dreary
but more ,
undeniable
that for a millisecond
silent rain
carried a silent pain
that hope could not sooth
and the streetcar would never carry away
the loss he held 
where love once dwelled
he thought
self absorbed
in the blink of an eye
the street car appeared.
