Storm

A cold tear
wet
real

Running down
my face

I wipe it
away

I have no time
to cry

A fantasy
I had made up
all in my head

A stupid dream
A shattered hope

Another tear.

The delicate droplet
rolls down
slowly

It glitters
slightly

I look out
the window

Gray clouds
floating on
the horizon

A distant warning
of the storm
to come

I take a deep breath
Try
not to let
the tears
come down

not anymore

A ruined little
dreamer

The clouds draw
closer

the tears
fight me
as they try
to escape

Waves
of hurt

an ocean
of pain

A rocky shore
water
crashing
onto my world

Salty tears

The gray clouds
begin to pour

I look out
once more

God is
crying
with me.
