Only The Rain Will Know

I raise my head
And look through your soul

I taste your tears
Through your nervous lips

You reach for my hand
As I pull away
You comb through my hair
As I beg you to stay

I rest my head on the wall
As I watch my tears fall
I bang my fist on the brick
As you attempt to comfort me

I feel you grip my shoulder
And spin me into your embrace
And I shudder with sobs
Burying your shoulder against my face
As I twist your shirt in my fists
You hold my neck; pulling me closer to you
And you kiss my forehead
And beg forgiveness

I find the strength to look through your eyes
Tear streaks matching my own
As the rain falls
And washes their salty trace
You hold my face tenderly
I part my lips wantingly
And I breathe you in;
The taste of rain dancing on our tongues

I slide my hands up your plain white tee
Feeling your sculptured body
Slick with the evenings downpour
I lick my lips as you hold me by the waist
You stare and search my face
And no words need to be said

I giggle now with your hand in my back pocket
As I caress your darling face
I cry once more
And you wipe them away

You hold me closer,
Hug me tighter;
Wishing that time would stretch out farther

I turn to that brick wall again
Leaning with my arms crossed
You walk closer
And you place a hand behind my back
I grip your shoulders and lace my fingers together behind your neck

You reach my mouth
And ease your way through
With passionate kisses
Your hands flat against the wall

And we move in rhythm
With the sound of the rain
And I release all anger
Confused emotions
And pain
