I Stand in the Rain

by purplefennels7

A small poem about loss. Subtly romantic. If you choose to see it that way, could be Bagginshield... Mentions of death, ect.

A/N: Slash if you squint (dldr). If you see it that way, Hobbit belongs to J.R.R. Tolkien. Enjoy!

I Stand in the Rain

why

did you have to leave me here

alone

with a promise of friendship

and a secret plea

of forgiveness

and now

I stand in the rain

alone

with tears in my eyes

and the rain on my cheeks

and all the world is brown and grey and black and terrible

without you

by my side

to light it up again

and I can't bear

to live in this world

without you

so I stand in the rain

wondering

and lamenting

and hoping for death

to come swiftly

so I can see you once more

and I stand

alone

in the pounding, menacing hail

and make no move

to escape my inevitable fate

because I might be able to see you again

if I die

why

why oh why

did you have to leave me here

your death imprinted on my eyes

and my death wish

on my lips

how can you be so cruel

and yet so alluring

at the same time

and now

I stand in the rain

alone

and when the rain turns to hail

I stay right where I am

your name on my lips

your voice in my ears

my death wish pounding in my head

and I wait

I wait for death to claim me

acorn clenched so tightly in my hand

it's cutting me

and finally

one sharp pain

and the world

goes

black~
