I Have Never Faulted The Rain
I Have Never Faulted The Rain
I have loved you from that first moment
when you saw me there
trying to escape my rubble bastion of half truths
and you held out your hand
without expectation or judgment
…only a smile beaming gentle in your eyes
and there I gave you so easily, my whole heart
because somehow I just knew
you would never intentionally hurt me
and for the first time in my life
…I accepted that I was safe
yet in the end I felt permeated
when my heart belonged
so completely to you
I gave you the key to my soul, unlocking my secrets
because I knew you were the one person
that I could share them with
and it felt so good to experience that
… to show you all of me
yet in the end I felt encroached
when you knew intimately
each and every one of my truths
I opened the door to my world, inviting you in
and I liked having you there, we were so much alike
there was something just so right
…there in ‘our own world’
yet in the end I felt resentment
that you actually came inside
breathing my air, walking my floors
leaving me with no place left to hide
…and here tonight
I stand quiet on the edge
of a slowly setting sun
longing for the glister of stars
to capture night
….that I may find the reasons for my truths
there in their light
yet when they finally did begin
to shimmer and shine
I cursed each and every one
for their unbearable honesty
…and then wondered voicelessly
why I have never faulted the soft fall of rain
nor have I ever accused nature of any injustice for
drenching me with the wet of falling drops
and as daybreak slowly engulfs the last shining star
…I am still here, pondering
Why you still love me
and what does this all…really mean
