A storm

Leave me here
me and my friends
you want nothing to do with us.

the rain from my eyes
drenched my puffy cheeks
and fell into a puddle.

the thunder i screamed
was the last breath
i would stand in front of you.

only you, the sunshine
can part the clouds
and take away the rain.

but maybe you won't.
