It's raining,

Lightning and thunder follows,

And I hear footsteps in the pouring rain,

And saw her walk past me,

I feel her heartbeat as if it was my own,

And as tears falls from heaven,

I felt her soul cleansed,

Every dirt and sin washed away,

By the continuous never-ending drops,

And I hear sounds emerging from the houses,

As I continue to wait,

The cold rain cleanses my soul.

It's raining,

I could still hear the cries from the houses,

I could still hear the shouts and screams,

And then…

I saw a girl running away from her nightmare,

She was barely dressed,

And I continued to feel her pain then,

The same pain as before,

The same agonizing hurt,

And I could feel the rain wash her unclean body.

It's raining,

She ran away again,

I was in the rain, waiting when she ran past by me,

And I followed her,

I saw her tears,

I saw her bruises,

And rain continue to fall heavily,

I hear the screams of frustration from her soul as soft as it may be,

I hear thunder erupting as if corresponding with her cries,

And she was afraid of everything,

I left leaving behind a red umbrella to shelter her.

It's raining,

I waited for her outside,

And listened to the loud thuds if the falling rain,

Movement of trees could be seen,

The night was cold,

I was waiting for her…

It's still raining,

Where is she?

Why isn't she here?

I continued to wait,

And soon the rain stopped,

Leaving me alone,

It's raining,

She's here!

I could see her!

My heart beats and the louder it beats, the heavier the rain,

I get to see her …again,

I wanted to tell her, speak to her,

At least talk to her,

As I ran towards her,

Rain grew heavier,

Thunder and lightning visited and grew louder,

I was happy,

But before I knew it,

I hear the screeching of car brakes,

I hear loud noises and piercing sounds,

And soon enough …

Silence,

Only empty silence greeted me,

She was gone,

I couldn't find her,

I searched and searched, every street, lane,

But she wasn't there,

I still continue to wait and wait,

But it was no use,

She never came back.

It's raining,

I still feel my empty soul cry out,

And I still relive my past,

I'm alone …all alone,

And only the rain falling is heard,

Accompanying me,

And forever I see,

My drowned eternity of repeated events,

As the rain continues to cleanse my soul.
