Tears Fell Like Rain
Over the years tears fell like rain,
drowning any hope in my heart.
And fragile dreams immersed in pain,
slowly began to fall apart.
Shunning rules of propriety,
you placed yourself first and me last.
And fueled by anxiety,
love's allocated to the past.
I remember the tender hugs
that once made me feel ten feet tall.
And your funny, innocent shrugs,
I recall the charm of it all.
When you ran off, I changed the locks,
now all that's left is bitter tears.
For, despite my pleas and long talks,
your cheating grew over the years.
You went where I couldn't follow,
and yet, you beg forgiveness still.
But your empty words ring hollow,
you don't love me and never will.
Life was perfect, without a flaw,
till I became yesterday's toy.
And you loaded that final straw
that broke my heart and stole my joy.
(Quatrain)
