Rainy Daze

She finds comfort in the rain, a friend who shares pain with her.

Hidden in the forgotten shadows of her mind,

She gazes beyond the porcelain glaze of her eyes

And out the tinted window she sees a friend

Whose loud claps of thunder greets like applause

The voice of her lover echoes in her head

And her hand tingles at the memory of his touch

Such longing for companionship is difficult

And a sob escapes from her throat

Slowly creeping from her protected world

The cold touch of the floor jolts her awake

Running into the arms of this friend

She is enveloped in comfort for he is crying with her

This friend cries and washes her tears away

She looks up at his face, dazed at his openness

Cold streaks of light flash through the sky

Followed by his mighty roar of anguish

She stands in the swirling midst of his pain

And she reaches up to collect him in her hands

“Don’t cry,” she whispers to him. “Don’t cry…”

Slowly, the creases on his face smoothen

And a smile of light peeks through them

His gentle wind caresses her cheek in thanks

And slowly he leaves and vanishes from the sky

She watches him leave past the porcelain glaze of her eyes

With peace once again pouring in her heart,

As a parting gift she gives him a loving smile

I love how you made the storm her lover in this one. Storms can be used to symbolize so much they're almost perfect for this purpose.
I thought I was the only weirdo that loves rainstorms
Guess not
