Today, I Mourn

Raindrops on my face

dark clouds on the horizon

I hold back the tears

Memories mingle

with the tears of misty eyes

silently,raindrops

Tears fall from heaven

a heart opens the floodgate

to grief and sorrow

Raindrops on the roof

my heart pitter-pattering

memories tapping

Tears falling,falling

heart fluttering,fluttering

my love, departing

Lips of sweet nectar

the memory of his kiss

turn bitter with tears

Fading memories

the pavement of broken dreams

wet with heaven's tears
