poem[rain]

I watched for hours waiting for rain
so it would wash this thought away
and the voices in my head
"what if?" "I'm scared" just be silent
you just stop me from everything I could be

I stayed for the moment the sky darkens
my bare feet touching grass
something come and cover me over
hide me in your warm tears
so I won't have to cry

I stop, feeling a calm and it excites me
come and take me away
my only way out of my own mind
did you miss me as much as I need you?
my heart beats again then slows down as the clouds let go

I felt it on my skin and stayed so still
my face to the sky
did you see me smile or was I crying
I felt so free with the weight off my chest
and I danced only for you

I waited for hours watching for rain
and you never disappoint me
