The raindrops on my windowpane
Were the tears I used to cry for you.

The raindrops on the sidewalk
Fell as violently as our romance did.

The raindrops on your face
Masked the tears falling from your eyes.

The thunderclaps disguised my screams.

The lightning illuminated my way
Out of the darkness you put over me.

Eventually, I'll be able to process what happened to us.
But until that time comes I'll keep crying.
And I'll keep coping.
And I'll keep screaming.
And wishing you never touched me.

Because you were the worst rainstorm I could have imagined.
Why you chose me to destroy, I don't know.
I guess,
Like during Katrina
My walls weren't enough to keep the water away.

And now I'm stuck with the damages.
Because you were the human version of Katrina
And I was New Orleans
