Rythmn of Rain

Hearts had new rhythms that started skipping

set to music of the rain that was slowly dripping

Grey and dark the sky fell slowly in a dance

Making the darkest of hearts desire romance.

Teardrops slide down the window making art

As a soul can only wait for a love that fell apart

Boots splash in reflected puddles that lay in streets,

forming a memory of a sudden last kiss that still repeats

Sounds of thunder collide into cracks of broken hearts

Waiting for lightning to revive the beat backwards into art.

Love floods the city in rivulets of someone’s veins

Until loss of unspoken words hits in a storm that rains.

Raindrops hit their skin and sink in with regret

Over mistakes made in shapes of silhouettes

 Clouds take cover and gathered above

Watching them drown in what was once love.

They held on for rainbows and clear skies

But were only embraced with hard goodbyes

The rhythm of the rain was set to a new pace

It’s too bad their love had to be replaced.
