Rain drops

The raindrops as they fall

Over the window of my hall

I sit in silence and trace

In my memory your face

The deep brooding eyes

The ones that hid the lies

Your deceit and bluff

That I couldn't see enough

I remember it all

As the rain drops fall

From the leaves of the trees

In my garden green

The first kiss under the eaves

On a mid-summer cool eve

Me melting in your arms

And fooled by all your charms

As a raindrop falls near me

A tear drops on my cheek

Reminding me of heart break

You took all you could take

I kept giving until I ebbed

Stuck like a fly in a web

Your true face always hidden

To my naivety, truth forbidden

And yet I love the rain

I can disguise my pain

My tears I can hide

Raindrops I claim them snide

So let it rain let it rain some more

With life's sorrow, I can then settle a score!
