Let the Rain Fall Down

Sitting here
Listening to the rain
I am once again reminded
Of a memory
Trapped in the pits
Trying to resurface,
While long forgotten.
Some memories
Are better left forgotten,
But I struggle
Deciding if this is one
Is worth remembering.
The rain
Paints a stunning picture
The kind that crushes the soul
While trying to forget
A pain that seared the skin.
Long walks in the rain
A peace overcomes my soul
I cannot articulate.
Walking in silence,
Side by side,
You never left me
Conversations that needed
No words
An entire discussion
In a passing glance.
The embrace
That left its mark.
The scar
Invisible to their eyes,
Plain as day to my heart.
Hands lifted high
In surrender
To the only One
Who knows.
A silent kiss
Goodnight to the sky,
I hold your hand
One final time.
As my hand
Falls limp to my side,
I clench my fist,
Forcing my hand
To never forget your touch.
