Rain and tears


I stare with hope…

But all I can see

is mysterious haze…

And behind it emerges

your indifferent face.

*

Gloomy withering rose

now dies in a vase.

Of a bond that is fading

just a pitiful trace.

Your love is just gone,

you left me shattered and lonely

with a screaming question:

‘What is that went wrong?’

*

Any way you’re looking

I can, maybe, endure

angry, gloomy, frenetic,

I accept them, for sure,

any facial expression.

But, please, not apathetic!

This will cause me depression.

*

On a grey rainy day

I saw that you cried

I knew deeply inside

I was not the one

who caused your pain.

I wish your tears

were just drops from the rain.

*

Wet and sad autumn crow

cawed at me from behind

( Is it reading my mind ):

‘I just already knew

now you also know -

she no longer loves you!’

*

I do suspect you,

I am in doubt, I may debate

but one thing is clear

I simply can’t hate.

*

I saw you again…

We walked hand in hand

on a large sunny beach

with soft golden sand.

So gorgeous it seems…

The bitter truth, however -

it’s just one of my dreams.

I believe to wake me

would be very unfair.

I want us in that dream,

I wish we always stayed there…
