Raindrops at Midnight

There’s a conflict

Brewing in my brain,

A coffee stain

Soiling my new shirt.

If I open up my heart

Will it hurt?

Another hundred

Million sighs,

Sighed.

Another hundred

Million days

Gone by.

Raindrops fall

In the orange glow

Of the dim streetlight,

As I question all I know

I watch them shimmer

In puddles at midnight.
