Even the Rain

Everything sounds like you, even the rain.

I thought I was immune

to the sound of your heart

breaking like raindrops falling

a million tears at once

I had rehearsed it until

it became an artform,

constructing your sadness

so it hurt me the least,

pushing down feelings

I was convinced weren’t real

But we were - so was the pain

and now everything sounds

like you, even the rain.
