Waiting & Thinking in the [[Rain]]

I'm sitting here waiting, a sound can't be found
Except the rain splashing against the cold ground
The silence is eerie, this feeling so new
The feeling of longing and missing of you

I'm freezing, it's so cold- watching rain fall
A thought of warmth is that maybe you'll call
Merely a doubt that is far from true
That thought never crossed the mind of you

I'm always there, shouldn't I receive the same?
Tossing and turning over playing love's game
I'm losing so badly, what am I to do?
I can't expect the help that I once gave to you

Is it so hard for you to show you're concerned?
The love I gave you- can just some be returned?
The feelings you proclaim are long past due
It's time to pay up the fines you grew!

My face is wet- from tears or rain?
I don't know which is better to explain
This pain that you continuously put me through
It's like you're not the person I once knew

The words you speak, the lies you say
Are nothing but lost to my dismay
A lost cause; pointless to pursue
A love past it's date to renew

So here I am, waiting for you to care
To remember me and become suddenly aware
Merely a thought that's far from true
That thought never crossed the mind of you

Author notes

Yeah, this is weird. It has a weird rhyming style of aabb, ccbb, ddbb. I don't know why I wrote it like this but I think it came out perfectly fine. I was sitting against a building, watching the rain fall before me, wishing this person was there for me, like I've always been for him.

He still hasn't called...

{{ and it's still raining in my heart }}

    Great

    This is an amazing poem. It describes so many things that actually happens during relationships.

    Is it so hard for you to show you're concerned?
    The love I gave you- can just some be returned?
    The feelings you proclaim are long past due
    It's time to pay up the fines you grew!
    My face is wet- from tears or rain?
    I don't know which is better to explain
    A lost cause; pointless to pursue
    A love past it's date to renew


    these were my favorite parts, because they made the most sense, and had an actual meaning in my life as well

    This is beautifully sad! I think you did a great
    job putting this one together here. It's a terrible
    feeling when the compassion and friendship you give
    to someone is not returned. Just the simple thought of being acknowledged or even a smile would help to ease the pain and frustration that you feel deep inside.

    Beautiful piece here and thanks a lot for sharing it!
    Keep up the wonderful work here!

    This is good! You could definitely feel your sadness, anger, frustration yet also a feeling of getting over it. The rhyming is good, and I really like the way you did this. Good job!

    I'm not a fan of rhyming like this, but you did well with it, and kept it up throughout which not many people can do.

    First I would like to ask you to please not 5 star my comment or comment me back in anyway. because I am trying real hard not to find out who anyone is at this time.

    There's an old song called " I wish it would rain " it is something about a man who cries in the rain so no one can see his tears. For some reason your poem reminded me of that song.
    It is so hard to love and not be loved in return. To give and give and get nothing back. As much as it may hurt, we continue to feel what we feel, because a lot of the time our feeling we can't control. I been there and I hate the feel as much as the next person. A hurting heart is the worst pain. I wouldn't wish it or anyone.
    Your poem is very well written and the flow is excellent, the story in itself is very sad. I can tell that you love very deeply. I have no favorite part the whole piece is simply amazing. This is an outstand piece of poetry.

    Thanks so much for entering my contest and I wish you the best of luck.

    Loveandblessings2u & yours always

    SOFTLY TOUCHING!!!!!

    Ah, how the rain is able to bring out our sad thoughts It does make us wonder if it is our tears or the rain we feel running down our faces.

    so many sad love poems recently. I wonder if it's something in the air? An unrequited love virus or something. Well written. Thank you for sharing.
