Dawn has arrived with its rays unseen
I stood by the window, wondering where you've been
Windows pressed and doors pounded
Saw you coming in with your eyes shrouded
I asked what was wrong
And you looked at me for long
You told me to leave, to shut my ears
Because today, you'll no longer be here
I demanded that you stay, to do everything you could
But you shook your head and suddenly stood
Paced towards the door frame, the sun lighting
And you were gone the next, no sign of sighting

The sunlight shone but the sky refused
Silent clouds of darkness have slowly abused
The fading light, the glowing light of life
Would have been taken without any strife
But we are one yet we are different
Different—like day and night to no end
We believed we are destined for each other
But fate said otherwise—we will never be together
We fought against the falling rain
Praying, hoping for anything but pain
That moment when you ran and left me
The story of the rain would have been told freely

The afternoon sun shone quite fiercely
But our love has been shining dimly
Fighting for lives lost, trying in futility
Never giving our worst, what chance have we?
Going away in a hurry, but leaving slowly
What if we left our hearts behind, do you see?
We could have been fine, better than most
But we chose wrong and everything we lost
Slowly going away from the window sill
Tying the curtains close, keeping my heart still
The ground is soft, yet suddenly dry
The story of the rain unfolded by and by

The night sky has descended on us
But your smile ignited love whenever it passed
Thinking about our shattered hearts
Is something we could do apart
We loved, lived, lied, lost
But somehow, we ended up having the most
We lost, we ran, we tried back again
We fell apart and something has been forgotten
The past is gone, the future awaits
But our love has passed like calendars and dates
For the rest of us, we have told the story of the rain
Hoping one day, we could get over this maddening pain

The night sky has descended on usBut your smile ignited love whenever it passedThinking about our shattered heartsIs something we could do apartWe loved, lived, lied, lostBut somehow, we ended up having the mostWe lost, we ran, we tried back again...

This is written almost to the end of the year 2016. I'm fifteen.

I have no idea what this poem means, honestly. I don't know what the story of the rain was and I still don't know until now. I just wrote about it.

So, what do you think of this poem? Comment below. :))
