Rain

I sit here alone and watch shadows dance gracefully along my walls.
As rain drips heavily into deep dark puddles of itself.

The clouds roar with pleasure and lightening brightens the sleeping world.

Crystal balls of water dance on warm, steaming pavement
and laugh.

Small, innocent giggles can be heard from my window seat
as steams of personality drip from the panes.
Cuddled in a warm blanket the cold grows inside me, I shiver with loneliness.
The world brightens and laughter is audible.
"Be not lonely" they say,
"Join us, laugh with us, dance with us".
My fingertips touch the cold damn glass
to say goodbye to people I'll never know.
