Alone in the Rain

Futile attempts to sleep
                        show no remorse for the quiet world
                        Faint drops upon the screen
                        awaken her from the invisible dream
                        His words...
                        painful to know
                        but necessary to show
                        The past made her weep again
                        it was always him
                        Chills invigorate her tired mind
                        if only for a second
                        pursing her pale lips together
                        she sighs -
                        Who would believe
                        hands dropping to her side
                        knees falling to the floor
                        crumpled and despaired
                        She closes her eyes -
                        waves of fear
                        or lying upon his shore
                        beckoning for his strength
                        to send her home
                        Lost in the future
                        she begs to dream
                        hands across her mouth
                        she has to scream accountability
                        But the labor of escape
                        seems too much to bear
                        and she just wants to rest
                        alone again...
                        alone in the rain
