The rain drops hit hard
the rockets harder
the dust and sand scar my throat
between broken breaths, i have nothing left
but her.
the feeling in my spine when the siren begins to warn and whine
is pure fear.
but shes here
in my heart
where i keep her locked up forever.
soaked in dirty soot and drenched from head to foot- in pain,
i tell my inner self to embrace the rain-
with each drop that fires at my face
i curse my luck in this horrible place
a hell on earth for only few to face
and only the brave can endure.
but i tell my inner self the best part of love is forever-
no matter the place, or the weather,
she stays in my heart until we're really again together-
bring on the rain.
