A Walk in the Rain

How awkward life must be for you.
A once darling maiden, always proved true,
Now an outcast, disgraced by your state,
Yet still wanting in, now becoming irate.

You’re always in the distance, but no one seems to know,
A shadow in the darkness, just trying to say hello.
Once upon a time, you were the Queen of your peers.
Yet, now you have no choice, you continually live in fear.

Over the years I have watched you decay.
A once beautiful flower now turning to gray.
As I sit and observe as your life tumbles down
I realize, what was once lost can never again be found.

I still cry over you. I just thought you should know. I still lay awake at night wondering what could have been, but none of that really matters now. I confessed my love for you, I told you that you were the only one for me, and yet, in return I received only disappointment and a broken heart. Why? Why would you lie to me, pretend like I was the one? Why wasn’t I good enough for you? I would have given my life to save yours, I would have taken a bullet for you, yet that wasn’t good enough. So now you are gone, lost to the world, and I am still here, standing my ground hoping that you will return before the world come to an end. I can feel the earth beginning to shake, the buildings are starting to collapse and you are in the middle of it, unable to escape. I see the walls starting to fall, and I am scared for you. I don’t want you to be just another lost soul, a dead body to be pulled from the wreckage. I loved you, yet you ran to the false safety of the world and I am worried that you won’t return.

Please come back.
