Outside And InBy Joi Maree Flowers
Night showers made the tears fall harder
Together making small puddles on the ground both outside and in
Like the surprise of the coming storm
She too did not know a down pour was headed her way
No warning to take shelter from the cold drench
No reason to believe that the sun would be overshadowed by grey skies
As darkness surrounded the halls of her home
Though earlier it beamed with light
No word as to why
Confusion shook her hand
As she tried to find the answer in the silence of her space
While holding the left behind key
Which was cold
As like the brushing winds outside
Seated on the floor
Rocking back and forth
Forth and back
Rocking with her arms around her legs and her chin to her knees
Covered in tears
Hugged by the cold air
Waiting for the answer to tell her
Of the reason why love left her
With no warning
With no reason
But the only response she received
Was thunder and rain
The same sound of her heart breaking
As the tears fell harder
