Rain

Rain falls silently
washing away the tears that fall freely
I stand like a statue in the dark, silent yard
I stand there for what feels like forever,
but he never comes
My hair is wet so I take out the clip,
allowing the curls to flow like dark streams down my back
My heart aches and I hear it say,
"Can I make it one more day?"
The rain stops then and so do the tears,
the sun comes out and the dark clouds disappear
My heart stops hurting and I hear it say
"Yes I can make it one more day, and he's not going to get in my way."
