Tears In Rain

Here I’m wishing wishes for those days when life made sense. I’m thinking thoughts that tear at me for the things I failed to be. How I do welcome the damp dreary days of February, when my forlorn fallen face is commonplace. When no one intrudes to question what’s the matter. To tears I cry there comes no — why, because all around are caught up in the blues.

No, she will not excuse this sadly lost and broken man, who much too late understands I was a fool, and in this sorrow understands, love’ll not return. I am glad fouler weather will soon occur, to drive the joyful all around me to indoor spaces, so I’ll be spared the pain of smiling faces. My heart aches to feel her smile’s embrace. But that smile was the last smile to come upon her face.

  1. Rob, your poignant piece beautifully captures the weight of regret and the realization that love won’t return, finding solace in February’s dreary days; and the anticipation of fouler weather to avoid smiling faces reflects a poignant emotional landscape.

    Well done in evoking such emotion.

  2. “I’m thinking thoughts that tear at me for the things I failed to be.”
    A commonality in humankind, I believe, regardless of life situations. Onward to a life of less regrets :).

  3. All about a great escape … lots of deep thought here. Plus great musical choices. Rain and gloom in February can seem never ending. Misery needs company.

  4. I connect with the sense that grief seems normal in winter rains, that tears and rain at least provide a cover for the feeling. This is a deep grief and one that must be honoured.
