Rain

I had originally planned something different this morning till I ran across something last night that I just couldn't get out of my head. A flash animation done to a song that most of you will know, though I doubt you've ever heard it sung like this. The link is after the poem. Watching it inspired this poem. You should definitely go take a look. All of it together, the poem, the animation, the song is the intention of this blog. It's not happy stuff, but it all is simple, emotional and strong. None of it is about me, but I'm in it and you will be too.

Rain


If I'm standing in the rain
that's where i want to be.
Can you see me?
Glistening on your skin.
Trickling from your hair.
Why did you turn away
from me?
Just one more touch
like raindrops on my skin.
It's getting cold.
You'd laugh at me if you saw me
soaked and standing in the rain.
I feel it.
I don't need more loss
raining in my eyes all day.
Everyday.
I just need to look into your eyes.
To lose myself in the quiet of your eyes.
You turned away from me.
I'm not what I appear to be
I'm not how you think of me.
I'm more.
There must be more.
If you cut me
I bleed just like you.
Mostly, I do.
I'm on my ledge.
It's not that far to the ground.
Maybe everything will look different
When I get down.
If I'm alone,
It's because I choose to be.
Why can't you see?
Are there raindrops in your eyes
just like me?
