Alone In The Rain
By Rebecca

He stood there by the doorway
The key in his hand, bright blue eyes glistening like the bay.
But I did not see his innocence like a dove
I didn’t see his honesty, wit, or love.

I did not stare into his eyes that day,
And for that, I would surly pay.
I looked for his flaws to cover my own
Camouflage for my own blemishes that made me feel alone.

I turned away from him
Afraid to look him in the face as the light began to dim.
How could I have been so cruel
To treat him like such a fool?

As I turned away and left, he stood there for a while
Eyes to the ground and he no longer had his smile
He just looked down in rage and shame
The moment that I left, I felt it begin to rain.

Today I ran to find him for wanted us to become more
But to my dismay, on this day he was not by the door.
I searched for him everywhere
I knew now that for him I did care.

The door was locked and he took the key
Not even a note was left for me.
So now I know I feel his pain,
Now that he has left me alone in the rain.
