Emotional Rain

Emotional Rain             (Internal Rhyme)

Another night of loneliness   
She sits waiting for his call
In silence she grows restless 
Emotional rain begins to fall

Her phone will not be ringing 
His calming voice she'll not hear
In her eyes there is a stinging 
Threat of squalls is drawing near

Roses from him, she'd long ago dried 
Their petals lay crushed in her hand
"What have you done?" she cried, 
and slipped off her wedding band

In whispers she called his name, 
remembering his sweet embrace
Then to mind bitterness came 
the look of anguish on her face

Days, weeks, then months gone by 
a semblance of peace, finally found
Until the night he called and said, "Hi." 
In emotional rain she almost drowned

No shelter from this impassioned storm 
No tincture is there to cure such pain
Upon her cheeks were rivulets warm,
of another downpour of emotional rain
