Rain.

Let the rain whisp by my face

allow it to make me cold

let it make me feel the things I am too afraid too

Give it permission to break me

hold it by the hand

tell the rain it can't hold me down

but allow it to catch me

when it can

Watch it drown the apathy 

of every single enemy

I've ever had at all

I'll plead for it 

to love me 

with a heart 

that is whole

And it'll say

"I shall try,

but I can be

quite cold.

Prepare for a 

Winter so bitter

you'll forget who

you are

Brace yourself

with a sky so dark

you won't see

a single star

Hold on to your

faith as I pour

down on your 

life

Now, I can try

to love you

or shower you

with strife.

The choice is yours

I shall not force you 

to decide

So with a heavy heart

Please do take

your time

Because though I can

try to love you,

I can try to ruin

your life."

So you are the rain of change... trying to seep and inveigle your way within another's existence. Has he perhaps opened an umbrella? Do you really want him to? Always questions... and meaning-less answers. Sometimes its just wanting someone to care enough to ask - anything.

I really enjoy the rain, This write is so wonderful.
Quite the enjoyable read, i felt the emotions drip down
as if they were droplets of rain. Well done!

Rain, the cleansing liquid that frees our thoughts, our minds, our souls. I almost forgot this was a piece of prose.
