The clouds above me spread in splendor
Tasting the electricity building in the air
The first cold rain drops mask my tears
I find my tortured soul reflected
As the darkened sky pours down its pain
The wailing wind builds with my cries
And every tear my broken heart sheds
Is met with a thousand more from my storm
I know that somewhere you find refuge
Perhaps listen to the rain on your windows
As the thunder builds and strikes again
Would you ever guess you are the cause?

'Wish it would rain when I was upset.' you say, that would be kinda cool. But not if it rained when I'm upset, because that happens pretty often when my baby sister gets into my room unattended. In fact that sounds like her getting into something now. Gotta go!
Great write!
May your pencil stay sharp!
