Don't you go, away.

I interpret the opening as a little bit of loneliness, maybe because no one is there to hold... but yet a feeling of contentment maybe because it's the first night in a while that she hasn't cried.

Exhaustion can take a toll on someone, I know that all too well! I sense a little bit of insomnia here, that feeling of wanting to sleep, trying so hard...but just can't. I wonder if the croaks is more of a groan, like ugh... or a croak that you get before you start to cry. I'm leaning more towards the latter. I like the contrast of the yellow lights and the blue greys, which are her eyes... she prays to sink in. Love your whole wording here.

"at least this way
she'll be someone's"

--- this line alone has so much sadness in it...the yearning to be loved but feeling so unwanted. It goes back to that loneliness with the first stanza.

And in the end, the tears finally come after fighting them so hard.

I love how you got inspired by rainy day music... the imagery is wonderful all throughout. I liked how the beginning started out hopeful, but ended up just being the 'calm before the storm' ... really nice touch!!!

I loved this poem from the beginning, such a simple inspiration yet it's almost as like throughout the poem you become more tired and at the end you fall into slumber. Solitary limbs was a great description, I never thought of it that way how you just feel so relaxed because you're so tired, never quite thought of them as solitary, couldn't be more perfect. Falling asleep to the rain or rainy music I guess is amazing, not sure who doesn't love it. Really love how you went about this, I know you can write about anything & make it really inspirational! Well done :)
