Downpour

Unheard were those desires
Unseen were those dreams
Unrequited were those memories
Because they had died
I, you, they..
No matter who killed..
I sent them to the clouds 
Carriers of unshed tears
Hoping to meet my soul there
I collapsed under its weight
Ahh.. The downpour is so heavy
Am I drowning or drenched in it?
Did you wake me up? Or did I?
The dawn murmured I was awake..
As the blush painted the sky
Wait.. It’s a sunset!!
Beautiful though!!..
