Black Rain
Outside, in the splendor of nature,
A black rain falls
splattering crowds
shattering doubt
calming my will to run
When the rain falls, as it covers ground,
it covers my face,
dark rain shrouds me in secrecy
hiding my facial display,
even though its plain to see
When the black rain drops hit,
it will delay her realization,
that I am not worth her spit
Don’t you waste more hours,
mistake your hate for love and spring flowers
I won’t sing proud, this rain proves your flake
it proves my worth, or lack thereof
She waits around for me at a corner,
never knowing what folly awaits,
all that transpired,
mired and forgotten
Dare you to spit another insult,
cut into my vein like you wish you could
sometimes I wish you would
make that mistake
Giving us what we both want:
escapism, putting off the inevitable
warm friendly breath to protect from this downpour
But unlike you, this storm has been my home,
I refuse to leave it
