Rain

It's raining again.
It's been like this for awhile,
Always around this time of year.
It makes me think.

Especially since
It was a night like this
When we became this way.
The rain had poured.

The only thing masking our screams,
Was the sound of the rolling thunder,
Muffled only by the sounds
Of the drumming rain.

Rainy nights like this
Bring me both comfort and nightmares.
Nightmares flood in
Like so much clear water.

I feel the guilt
I feel the weight of our sins
And suddenly the rain
Is inviting me to it.

It compells me
Tells me to come.
And so I walk to the door,
And oblige.

The rain drips down my face,
Leaving streaks like so many past tears.
Soaking my hair,
Soaking my skin.

It pings off of my automail,
Leaving a resounding ring
As it touches my
Mechanical limbs

The sound haunts me
Reminding me of what I had done.
And yet, it offers salvation
And hides the tears that no one should see.

For so long
I've tried
To keep myself from crying, out of
Frustration

From the failed attempts
From the things I couldn't save
From the friends I've lost
And from what I've sacrificed.

The rain is haunting,
Mysterious, comforting.
I embrace the rain,
As it masks my painful tears.


A/N:

And another one. :3 ... I have a thing for writing free-hand poems. I don't know why, I just love them. And it's helping me understand the characters a bit more, so, WOO!

Btw, thanks to Psyco Neko for my first review! ;D
