Dark and wet
It’s raining outside
The sight of rain falling
Like the tears we couldn’t hide
Rain reminds people of sadness
Like the love that left too early
Most funerals are shown in rain
Because it causes the desired emotion perfectly
Feeling the icy drops hit my skin
Feels like your words hitting me
Making my arm go numb
Every word hurting more than you can see
Rain is a liquid
And so are tears
March is when rain is thought to come most
And for some brings memories buried for years
It was the weather I wanted
To fulfill your one wish
But you ended our relationship
Before in the rain we kissed
Rain is associated with storms
And storms with hate
Thunder and lightning clash
Like the rage and anger only death can slake
With memories comes hope
Of times yet untried
Because although you didn’t show it
We all knew you cried
Depression is like rain
It has to end eventually
The ground will dry, the puddles fade
And then you wonder why you felt that way
We all wondered why you did it
And now you want those times back
But I’m not here for you to take whenever you want
Like your favorite kind of snack
For some rain is a special occasion
To go dancing without a care
It feels like it’s just you and the rain
You don’t even notice if some stop and stare
The one reason I love rain
Is because it reminds me of you
And that is always a good memory
No matter what you may do
