Rain of Tears

Knowing it will not stop the rain, I don’t want to open my eyes to the pain,

The rain of my tears is being held captive by my fears,

I don’t want to open my eyes and witness that you are no longer here with me.

The rain will wash away the hurt and pain, keeping me serene,

I fear I don’t have the strength to get wet from the rain of tears,

Staying in a place of denial is not beneficial for me, but how can I let you go when I am afraid to open my eyes and see what I fear the most?

Even though I want to open my eyes to the pain and release what’s keeping me insane,

I know doing so will reveal that you have left me behind, and I don’t know how to comprehend that ordeal.
