her whole life was a vision
the rain was a mirror
but a mere reflection of the challenges she could not see
he
was a long time ago but still changed the thought of gravity
shaking the earth every time he would speak
shaking life into her though she was dead underneath
a welcome mat
hanging on the floor of humanity
and she tried to get past it but the only thing she saw in her dreams
was he

he
was the man
who brought her to his bed
he made the thought swirling in her head
and in the eyes of the man she loved
she saw he instead

her only hope
was when it rained
to her
it was Gods reminder
that he sees your tears
as the black and blue
on that little girl
matured over the years

she was locked out of freedom
her thoughts were suicidal
and that little girl
of black and blue
came into her spirit
bridle

when her husband
could not touch her
and when she could not believe
that he loved her
that is when she knew she needed to be set free

so in the rain
she cried out
"i can't do this on my own
if you can take the pain away
i don't' want it to end this way"

and years later
after the process of
forgetting some of the pain

with her husband
and their children
*they all walked in the rain
