Unrelenting Rains

These tears...
Unrelenting rains
I try
But, I cannot wipe them away

Pouring upon
This dear letter
Of your scripted words
waterfalls into blurs

Further and further
Fallen whirlpool of pains
Draining downward
But,the message
Still remains the same

A verse of love
Put about by disdain
Salt dissipates into ink
And faults into blames

What is left?
But, the things I cannot change
Reasons mixing
Into muddled greys

These tears
Unrelenting rains

really fine work, so sad a subject but so well done. funny enough just listening to Emmylou Harris's 'love hurts' seems to apt for the moment. Have a blessed day, Gordon
