Sometimes

Sometimes it seems that the rain 
Understands you better 
Than your friends

You look up into its trickles 
Drawn to that gray space, in a daze
And hear the monotonous tapping
Like a lesson repeated 
By your childhood teacher
  
The rain understands you 
Better than people 

Without its sadness
Life would be only 
A shameless coquette 
In a cabaret
