Walk in the Rain

She lied
Said she was mine
She was all I would ever need
Now the rain falls
With thunder of time
Lighting showing truth
I never seen

Drops falling
Flowing freely down
A saddened face
Hair drenched
Cold and wet
I shiver
From frozen embrace

Step after step
In darkened day
Splashing through
Puddles of memories

Rain turns to sleet
As I think of you
Of the times we shared
Of the laughs we had
Of the plans we made
Wind picks up
Howling in my ear
If I close my eyes
I can still hear
The words I never thought I would

Coming to crossroads
Which way to choose
Left to light
Right to night

I hunch down
Seeking shelter from wind
As sleet pours down back
Thunder echoing
Or is it my mind

Approaching destination
I look across the sky
Jagged edge showing the way
Down below
This cliff
I see images
That haunt me still
Wind begins it song
Of hated words
As you said
"Could never love one such as I"
