Glistening Drops of Perpetual Sorrow

by Hatori   May 7, 2007


Each glistening drop of this pouring rain,
Reminds me of that cold, dark day,
When so many tears were shed from my eyes,
And my poor weak body seemed to have died.

You had felt my terror,
And knew with fright,
That the only way to survive that night,
Was to sacrifice your very life.

You grabbed me with one fluid motion,
And flung your arms around me.
The feeling was simply a dream,
Until the consequences were finally seen.

Your motionless body was all that remained,
And the glistening drops of the pouring rain.

The way you died,
Because of me,
Is the reason for these horrid dreams,
Where the murderer returns,
With a stained red sword,
You huddled on the ground,
Covered in dark blood.

In these nightmares,
He strikes once more,
And I lay on the ground,
Glad that it wasn't you.

Each glistening drop of this pouring rain,
Reminds me of that cold, dark day,
When so many tears were shed from my eyes,
And I truly wish that I had died.

    This was si heartbreaking to read...and yet so beautifully written.
    The imagery you used in this created vivid pictures, flow was good throughout the entire poem and the word choice was a joy to read.
