Emotional Rain
Emotional Rain (Internal Rhyme)
Another night of loneliness
She sits waiting for his call
In silence she grows restless
Emotional rain begins to fall
Her phone will not be ringing
His calming voice she'll not hear
In her eyes there is a stinging
Threat of squalls is drawing near
Roses from him, she'd long ago dried
Their petals lay crushed in her hand
"What have you done?" she cried,
and slipped off her wedding band
In whispers she called his name,
remembering his sweet embrace
Then to mind bitterness came
the look of anguish on her face
Days, weeks, then months gone by
a semblance of peace, finally found
Until the night he called and said, "Hi."
In emotional rain she almost drowned
No shelter from this impassioned storm
No tincture is there to cure such pain
Upon her cheeks were rivulets warm,
of another downpour of emotional rain
