raindrops.
wearing embarrassment
like a broken heart
feelings trickle down
like rain drops
unforgiving and still damp
cooling fevers and contentment
fleeting moments
washing away peaceful sentiment
breathing resentment
average gestures
tease need for validation
seeking surface comfort
and avoiding self
thoughts and blinded reflection
keeping loneliness away listening to raindrops
and my slowed heartbeat
drowning out instinct
where sleep is awakened
by a shame and blues
where love is and unforgiving and forgotten by you
A gift given freely
but never without cost
keeping secrecy of souls happiness lost
raindrops on flesh
refreshing only skin
but what lies within
remains unquenched
And left dry with regret
Raw and trying to
Neglect the deafening sound
Of raindrops bouncing off
once still waters...
