You wanted only rain today
And clouds from far anon.
I watched their fingers smudge the sky
And cast away the sun

I brought upon the downpour
And trembled as it fell.
Chilling every molecule
And drenching every cell.

I could not wish this rain to cease;
It was necessity
To end the all-consuming flame
That blazed through you and me

Still I felt the damage
Of burns beneath the skin
The outside seemed undamaged
Though truth lie deep within.
