Raindrops

Elisa Ashley

Raindrops

cold like ice

sting my exposed skin.

Raindrops

enlarged with the tears of angels

pelt me like hail.

Raindrops

soak through my clothes

make me seem as if I had just been swimming.

Raindrops

sliding down my cheeks

mingle with my tears.

Raindrops

hide my pain and raw emotion

like the darkness hides me.

Raindrops

glimmer in the summer sun

such an oddity to have rain and sun.

Raindrops

remind me of you

we were an oddity, you and me.

Raindrops

collect in puddles at my feet

like the tears of all the heartbroken.

Raindrops

    It is a beautiful way, of describing the heartache of losing someone.You feel it always, and see it in everything--like the rain. The sadness creates it's own dance and anything can become the music.
    It's beautifully written.

    Thought: this is a metaphor...right? But for what. Obstacles life throws your way? Loneliness? Fear? Bittersweet instances in life? All of the above? (hope you don't mind me picking your brain).
