Alone in the rain

by Andrea broken tears   Jul 10, 2005


People passing by, its late at night
I'm sitting here on the cold
dark road.
Rain beating onto the street
running down my face.
I'm happy that its raining
now those people will never
know I'm crying,
not that their paying attention
to me any way.
My crimson tears
and the rain running off my face
fall onto my bloody arm and wash
away the pain,
only leaving tiny blood stains.
As it gets colder
and the night grows older
my body slowly starts to feel weak
and my eyes start to close
I'm drifting away.
When I wake up I'm confused
I should be dead
I was only asleep for what seemed
like hours but its only been a
few minutes.
The rain has gotten heavier
you cant even see across the street
people are putting up their umbrella's
to shelter from the rain.
I don't even look up because I
know that no ones looking down.
I'm laying down my head to sleep
the heavy rain still falling
I have no shelter from it
all I have is the
tiny shirt i wear.
I drift away into a heavy sleep
hoping this will be my last.

    I feel insignificant leaving you a response after all these other ones...
    i really loved this.... and all i could think about was what i would give to meet the person in your poem... because i have many painfull lonely nights like this... and it's so hard to face it thinking that there isnt any chance of you glimpsing someone going through the same thing....
    you really had me feeling alot when i read this.... you have a way with words.. you really do....

    love your work, and i will most definitly keep reading...

    dont forget about me,

    I like how you use simple words to convey deep emotions. I like it because I think a lot of people tend to try to use large complicated words to emphasize their point; but often it has an opposite, cliche, effect. good poem! 5/5
