Forecast
is calling for rain
I checked the forecast
it’s calling for rain
thats why I’m out here waiting
because I took our memories
and all of the pain
our pictures together
our texts
our fights
our resolutions
our late nights
every call
I took it all
the holidays we spent
our vows
our plans
our past
everything I can’t get back
but also the things I still have
including socks your mom bought
featuring cute little bookworms
and all the lessons I learned
after that, I managed to grab and hold
every truth that you said
and every lie that you told
every single moment
whether silver or gold
moments I found exceptional
and ones rotten to the core
and when I thought I took enough
I took more
I mapped them all out
drew everything perfectly
using every color I could find
the good
the bad
the black
the white
every single word
every single talk
I sketched it all
using my preferred medium for this illustration
best representing
my feelings for our relations
all while wearing, my beloved bookworm socks
my masterpiece complete
my Mona Lisa in sidewalk chalk
I checked the forecast
it’s calling for rain
soon the water will come
to wash away
