There was heavy rain that day,
The pregnant sky, a mournful grey
Let loose a strong and chilly spray
That hit the leaves in a mad sway.
My skin was cold and water-logged
My tired eyes, tear wet and clogged
By the door I stood, my feet bogged,
Inapt to think, all my mind fogged.
The lashing drops hitting the gears
Hid from my face the falling tears
I was alone and filled with fears
The world ahead was full of sneers.
So many rainy days I saw
I was worn out, my heart was sore
Had I the courage to face more?
Had I the guts to cross that door?
But....
It was too much for me to stay
My heart too broken, in dismay...
There was heavy rain that day,
The day I chose to walk away.
