Summer Rain

Defiant clouds have come to my defense A summer storm to wash away the pain Bereft of love, the sun seems more intense It burns the loneliness into my brain The rain knows of the sadness it can sense I face the truth with smiles no more to feign The angry thunder knows just how I feel Now you are gone, heartache I can’t conceal 8/28/17 Alternate title Smiles No More to Feign

Hello Mike, the rain is your tears.Yes the rain knows the sadness we feel.Yes the heartache we feel. Now a days the rain are my tears,the thunder is my anger. have a nice evening my friend.
