Tears and Rain

Tears and Rain.
Why did the rain go away?
It hasn't washed away all the grief yet.
It hasn't even wiped out the world's sorrows.
Why did it go away quicker than it came?
I was waiting for the raindrops.
Waiting for them to leave their pure trails behind.
The rain is gone. All I have left are tears.
Why are the tears still here?
The tears that cleanse my soul.
The tears that rid my heart of hatred.
Why don't I appreciate these tears enough?
I was dreading these teardrops.
Dreading that they'd give my true feelings away.
The rain has gone. But the tears are still here.

"The rain reminds the earth that nature is
alive and tears remind the body that the soul
is still alive."- Anoymous
