    Who can stop the rain?

    2023-08-27By christellein Grief, Introspection, Love, Poetry

    Rain falling on my head

    Rain         drops

         falling

              on

                 my

                    head

     

    I sit with pain

           until pain sits with me

    Patiently awaiting

           my acquiescence

    That FATE, that relentless wave

           crashes not once but twice

     

    My body

           a sea of suffering

    Each drop, a moment spent waiting

           On him, on her

     

    Until the bitterness of rejection

            leaves even the

    sweetest kiss

    Insipid on my tongue

     

    My lips curling, only at the thought of waves

           washing

                 the pain

                       away

    With more pain
