The Rain Fell
The rain fell
Splattering upon my open face
Mixing with the tears
Dripping, trickling down my neck
As if the stars above were weeping too
As if someone above was crying along with me
Helping my tears to fall.
The rain fell
Washing away the world
Taking with it the pains
And the horrors and wounds
As if we were being given a second chance
As if we were to be set back to the beginning
To start over.
The rain fell
Wails splitting the skies
Clouds rushing across the blackness
Stars blurred, covered
As if everything were running away
As if something was chasing it all away
A memory, maybe.
And I still stood there
In the middle of it all
Raindrops and tears running together free
Watching, crying, letting go
A new start, something told me
A chance to heal the hurts and bruises
To clear salted tears
And wipe everything away
And maybe, after it’s all over
I’ll be back at the beginning
Laughing this time, smiling
Thanking the stars above,
Thanking the someone above
For this new chance
This new start
But for now,
Just for now,
The rain fell.
