The Rain And I

Each drop represents the pain I feel,
My grief, My guilt and everything else I have concealed.
Only the rain knew how much pain I was in,
And it cried with me all day while breathing me in.

I looked down and stared at my feet
"How can anyone go through this?", I cried.
But the rain blurred my thoughts silent.
It started to shatter above me and made me silent.
The clouds were in pain but it paused mine, I sat there with my eyes closed
listening to anything and everything It had to say.

At the end of the night, it was just me and the rain,
The rain and I.
