like rain

My face pressed hard

Against the glass of the windowpane

Tears are falling, my life will never to be the same

Looking at the world outside, cold and lonely

Wondering just why you left me behind

All I had thought, we’d gained

Although my heart is troubled

I still hear echoes of your love’s calling

The glow of the day’s last fading light

Reflecting upon your gentle loving face

Gathering the empty pieces of my wounded pride

What I surrendered for love’s sake

Continues to feed my aching mind,

The everyday things you’d done

To keep us whole

Although you were long suffering, inside

You’d sometimes explode

When no one else was working with you

Somehow you never lose control

You see things in ways I cannot explain

How the miracle of love remains

Even as my world seems lost, again

…going down in flames

Burning tears

Falling …like rain
