Rain

Remind me of a feeling.
A feeling I forgot.
Somewhat foreign,
I don’t know where to start.
If my smiles will mean something,
I wish they show the truth.
That I used to be happy,
but now trapped in gloom.

Let my heavy heart pour out,
cast this heavy storm.
May these memories vanish,
fast, like streaks of lightning,
fade, like the sound of thunder.
May the rain,
-these innocent drops of water,
seep their way back to their core.

Just how joy
would find me once again.
To bind the loose fragments,
to fill in the gaps of a now porous heart.
Let me remember
to remember.
‘Cause who I was once was,
is who I really am.
