My Eyes Rain as the Sky Cries

 

 

         My Eyes Rain as the Sky Cries

          By: Charley Brooke (2012)

Rain or teardrops?

So hard to differentiate 

Falling, falling, nonstop 

Pouring through floodgates

Pounding on roofs and hearts

Rushing like a waterfall

Invisible falling stars of art

Wipe them off, replaced with a plastic doll smile

All because I'm waiting for the good part

Before these tears, raining from these eyes, I drown.

Pull apart. Take apart. Break apart.

When will I be found?

Take me to the rain.

Kiss away the pain.

Bring on the storm, the lightning, the thunder. 

Never again shall we be asunder.

Now I can see clear with no more tears.

He whispered in my ear "Have no fears. I'll be your knight in the night."

It only takes one spark.

To light up the dark.

I pulled you into an embrace

"Why are you sad, boy?"

And I discovered these were tears of joy

Perhaps sometimes the sky cries for us 

In raindrops of happiness.
