Rainfall

A Poem by The Shmexynerd

This poem was inspired by, you guessed it, a rainy day. It's essentially from Dean's point of view as he talks about Cas.I'm posting it here now in honor of Misha's 40th birthday. GO MISHA.

((Quick reminder: this has absolutely nothing to do with my fic. Completely separate.))

RAINFALL

~ The rain pitter-patters at my feet,
as they splash I think of tears
falling down from his starry blues,
so few shed throughout the years.

~ To see him cry is such a rarity
a precious gift given to a select few;
The pain he keeps hidden inside
I'm one of the only ones who knew...

~ Until occasionally breaks the dam
and heaven's floodgates burst open
The tears falling so fast and strong
All I can do is keep praying and hoping...

~ Keep praying and hoping...

~ That my baby will be okay,
that he'll glue himself back together...
That he'll make it through the day,
no matter what the weather...

~ That he'll know that I am here,
that he's got someone to hold onto...
That he can persevere,
and be the hero that he wants to...

~ And see, that's just the thing -
my baby doesn't always see
that he is indeed a hero,
a hero, a savior, at least to me.

~ He wants to take back his actions,
to find complete redemption,
but what he doesn't understand
is that he's already forgiven.

~ He tells me how far he's fallen
how he has to prove he's good
and how he's lost without his wings;
I'd give him a set if I could...

~I'd give him a set if I could...

~ Because in my heart he soars
he sets my stomach all a-flutter
his wings are wide and beautifully
spread, soft and smooth as butter

~ And in my mind he shines
as bright and hot as the sun
for me, it's quite obvious
he really is the only one.

~ It took me so long to realize
how much I needed him
before, I was lost at sea
and didn't know how to swim

~ But he became my anchor,
and washed away the fear;
I cling desperately to him now,
he's everything I hold dear...

~ I wouldn't trade him for the world
I would give my life to save him
no matter what it would cost
because this isn't just some whim

~ This isn't just some whim...

~ 'Cause I will love him for eternity
to the grave and back again
and even if it isn't right
for him, repeatedly, I'd sin

~ Our love is unstoppable
even through the veil of death
we'll love each other forever
to our very last breaths.
