Lying on the grass

I stare into the rain.

Washing away my loneliness.

Washing away my pain.

I close my eyes and wonder

If I ever could,

Feel your arms around me.

Wonder if I should.

Will you ever come back?

Do you even care?

If I went looking for you now,

Would you still be there?

You claimed once that you loved me

And wouldn’t leave my side.

I cry into unyielding rain

With nothing now to hide.

My heart lays torn before me

Melting in the grass.

Tears burn holes within it

Shimmering like glass.

The reflection I see is not my own,

For it comes down with the rain.

Cold arms are wrapped around me.

They lessen all the strain.

I lean back in the cold embrace.

I let it hold me still.

Soon nothing’s left to hurt me.

Nothing’s left to feel.

Nervously I take to flight

On crystal wings of black.

Last time looking on my body,

Then never turning back.

I will not miss your soft caress,

Nor your warm embrace.

The only thing I’ll miss

Is the rain upon my face.

I’ll survive without you.

I’m now content to be.

But the question I’m now asking,

Will you live, without me?
