She waited in the rain for him

She waited in the rain

It pitter-pattered against her face

And stabbed her eyes in pain

She stood with no umbrella in hand

She stood there soaking wet

The water drenching through her clothes

In the place where they first met

She forgot about the anger

She forgot about her hate

And all she remembered was the love she had

For her one and her only mate

She stood there in hunger

She stood there through her thirst

And hoped that he would come back for her

Hoped he'd love her first

You see, there was another

But she stood in the heat

With his eyes looking down on her

In the place where they did meet

He forgot about his first

He forgot that she would wait

He forgot in time that she had a name

But he sadly saw her fate

A shadow was hiding in the rain

It watched her and it waited too

And when no one came to comfort her

It took that as its cue

And so her hunger devoured her

And her thirst drank up her life

And her heart hurt her more and more

Until Death saved her from strife

He held an umbrella over her head

And led her into the dark

And her mate watched from his happy new place

As they did forever part
