Raindrops
and Heartache
(Sometimes raindrops
and teardrops share the same dance)
Cold grayness of
the day
brushed her face
with a shade
of weathered alabaster,
raindrops drumming
atop
a battered and blue
umbrella.
Not from the raging
storm,
but rather a haunting
farewell
to love thus
spurned.
!!!!!
Teardrops marched
ever sadly
down a reddened
cheek
to kiss sweet memories
she once lovingly
caressed,
now madly swept
like rain drenched
leaves
upon darkened streets.
Through loneliness......she
wept.
!!!!
Daddy wasn't there
to kiss away her
empty tears,
protect her from
the fears
of touching heartache
once again.
Alone to face rejection
like the silent
chambers
of an empty gun,
tears now seared
her face
to form scars
now painfully etched
upon weathered alabaster
from freshly fallen
raindrops and heartache.
