Rain Is A Good Thing

I watch the rain fall down

Good things it will bring

Washes away all the hurt,

Hurt that I’m feeling when you’re hurt

‘Cause half of my heart belongs to you

That it would never be complete without you

 

Each rainy night I remember you

The way you tell me that same old love story

Listening and looking at you while lying at the same bed

Sharing one blanket of love

 

Those rainy night were worth remembering

Rainy night when you were there with me

Rainy night when you said you love me over and over again

And rainy night when you left me forever

So here I am watching the rain wash away all the hurt.

I admit it, I love rain, the scent, the sound, the way it feels on your skin and hair
It makes the plants greener and the world seems cleaner. I live in the Arizona desert, so we don't see that much rain so I never tire of it..
Your poem makes me remember sitting, going through old papers and photographs while listening to the rain thrumming on the roof and remembering . . .

this was sweet, but a little overuse of you, you, you... but not in a deliberate stylistic device way. Could be really nice once reworked.

I'm glad the rain washes away all the hurt for you, because it just douses me in it. Without sunshine, I'm a wreck. But I love your romantic, sweet tone, the honesty in the power your lover has held over you and your ability to finally let go and move on. Bravo.

this was a sweet poem. Rain has a way of making us feel better about ourselves sometimes. I agree it comes down and washes away all the hurt. Just one thing that bothered me, it was this line, "Hurt that I'm feeling when you're heart", it somehow doesn't make sense and it doesn't flow with the next line. I think you're trying to say something here, but the message is not clear.
Other than that, the poem was actually very touching. Good job.

Yes rain is a good thing it makes everything greener and sometimes if people would stop and say rain is not depressing and maybe jumped around in the puddles they'd understand why I love rain so much! Just as I love this poem and I'm putting it in my favorites!!!

[NoneOfYourBusiness akaK..]

cleansing and deeply touching~ the emotions blanket the reader with the sound of rain~

[An owl on the moon]

What a profoundly moving, emotional rich poem that captures the story of love and life across time... what was.. moving in raindrops.. to the sadness of a life alone.. Beautifully told with such a bittersweet longing.
