She sat
under the rain
Curled up
as each drop
Washed away
painful tears
But held
onto tear drops of hope…
...Of the love
she once knew
She never
looked up once
---
She sat
under the rain
Curled up
as if each drop
Protected
her from the pain
As it
washed it all away
Until several
hands reached
Through the curtain
of rain
As if wanting to
rescue her
---
But she sat
still and waited
And as the
water rose
She waited
and waited…
For the
right hand to pull her away
While the rain washed it all away
She waited and waited...
For the hand of the soul she once knew
While the rain washed it all away
She waited and waited...
For the hand of the soul she once knew
