January

Rain drops on my window
Tapping gently 
One by one
Flowing 
Running
Into the next 
Streaming 
Like tears
Of a lost love
Torn away 
By circumstance
I feel the pain
In the pit of my chest
Lifting 
Pulling 
Dropping again
Within each breath
I stare at 
The rivers
Streams and 
Little ponds
Building before me
Until they stop
Coldness
Slowly turning to
Ice taking each drop
That had no chance
I am reminded of you
I walk away.
