And it rained

And suddenly it rained

Harsh, relentless cold showers

Falling mercilessly

On her face

Not the soft transparent pearls,

But icicles as they hit her eyelids

Deathly cold; suddenly it wasnt the rain

It was him, cold, harsh known and yet a stranger.

Twisting her arm, daring her to look

Into the eyes he said were fake

Holding her chin, forcing her to

See the vacant lying there.

And the thunder it jarred her ears

Or was it the proclamation of fake love

That tore her heart.

She unbelieving, as she drenched in the outpour of his abandonment.

Was it the raucous wind bellowing

Matching her heartbeat as

She heard that love is fading.

And in the next moment

It had faded just like the sunshine

Which lapsed in the downpour.

Stay for what?

To watch her body burning in the flame of love?

So she closed the bars of the prison

And entrapped herself in the cage built by him

The harsh rain drenching her mercilessly .
