Tears of Rain

Rain drops fall as I run
I can feel it catching up to me.
Haunting me for fun.
I can hear it stomp the ground.
The clouds grow darker.
There’s no one else around.
I can’t see what’s in front of me.
Nothing but rain and fog.
I’m well aware of what it must be.

I can sense it slowly rising.
It’s moist breath upon me.
In a way it’s somewhat tantalizing.
One by one the drops disperse over my skin.
Even closer it creeps.
Running down my face, my sight becomes dim.

The clouds grow heavy and consume.
I can feel it sinking in.
Surely this can’t be the end… my doom?
My heart rate goes to extremes.
It’s here, I know it’s sunk in.
Is this it? So it seems.

Shivering and lost under the sky.
I don’t know where I went wrong.
It seems like there’s no point to try.
Why can’t it be like it was back then?
The tears of rain stream down my face.
I’m lost and hopeless again.
