lightning flashes, followed by thunderous roars,
gushing down relentlessly, the raindrop pours;
bringing cool relief from the summer heat.
filling the new puddles and drenching my feet.
can it wash away the loneliness of this broken heart,
cleansing the deep wounds, finally after this much time apart.
bringing comfort to my tormented soul,
helping me restart with someone worthy before I’m too old
the rhythmic pattering against my window pane
soft and melodic, each special drop timing Mother Nature’s beat
slamming itself into the invisible wall,
trickling slowly, enduring and sharing the inevitable fall,
luckily, without a heart, it bears no agonizing pain,
merely the many droplets that comprise the rain.
