Silence

I woke up to the sound of rain pouring down,

I heard every drop fall on the roof, as every drop fell I could feel the cold soothing water falling on my skin. 

My brown skin,

My beautiful brown skin.

Silence

My mind soon cancelled out the rain and all I could hear was my own heartbeat, the heartbeat that you swore you would always wake up to.

Silence

A couple flashes of lightning and my mind flashes back to the night you made love to me for the first time, 

we were both so young

So adventurous 

Silence 

Seconds later the thunder rolls in and I think I saw the devil himself, it is then when I remember the night you bruised my beautiful brown skin and broke my heart to pieces and left me on the side of the road on that dark stormy night.

Silence...
