Haunting Shadow

dark, rainy, haunting

Haunting Shadow

 

If only the rain would cease

if only the clouds would sever

if only the sun would warm

my soul would mend

 

You forsook in the rain

I continue to discern your shadow

in inclement weather

it haunts me

those images of you

the luggage, the raincoat, the umbrella

that smirk on your face

 

Today, my soul recalls those last moments of us

on that rainy day

the unpleasant sentiment that shrouded our space

we both perceived it

inevitably, one would vacate

you chose the exit

I still wait for the rain to cease

 

When the sun warms

perhaps your enduring shadow

shall ultimately desist

 

Reviews

[John the Baptist]

The rain may be an actual weather phenomenon, but It also may reflect the speaker's emotional situation. It appears a breakup occurred during stormy weather, and the sun has yet to return inwardly. When it does, perhaps joy will return also.

[Betty Hermelee]

Thank you John...a spot on review and much appreciated! Hope all is well!
Warmly, B
