A Storm's Memories

I watched the rain drops fall,
Sometimes much too hard,
Or occasionally including a sprinkling shower
With rain drops way too small.

As I see the rain,
I'm reminded of my tears.
Sometimes they poured from my eyes,
But mostly the tears, they never came.

I listen to the thunder.
At first it seemed so far away,
Now it is booming in my ears.
And it sounds like a rolling boulder.

As I hear the thunder noises
Of crackling rip through my mind,
I'm reminded of heartbreak,
Of someone with out hugs and kisses.

I see the lightning flash,
Flash right before my eyes.
Some times it looks like a light to the Earth
And others streak by in a dash.

As I see it dance before my eyes
I'm reminded of days that went by like that.
Much to short to even get a glimpse of you,
Instead, listen to my own wanting sighs.

I went out to play in my wretched past
For I didn't want to watch it pass.
So I danced around like a foolish child,
Just so my nightmares might not last.
