Casualty of War

Rain is pouring
Winds are howling
A storm is rushing in
I do not know where I have been

Huge raindrops crashing into a crooked pink line
The pavement moving, swallowing everything in its path
Yesterday's lunch, left forgotten - floating memories
Darkness completely overpowering the sun

For 19 years, the rain was my best friend
Sheltering me from all the pain that has come my way
Hiding the tears I shed and even my insecurities
Come to think of it, it was my only friend - it left me

Others have enjoyed you, used you, loved you
But why only now? I have been waiting for you
But the ties that you had won't easily be forgotten
For years you have served another master, and you to me had only been a day

Murky brown water greeted me as I descended
For a minute it provided comfort, cool and warm at the same time
But suddenly it stripped me bare, leaving me vulnerable
The security blanket I've set up quickly ebbed away

Jealousy, Anger, and the feeling of Betrayal
The rain couldn't conceal it, not now when all my defenses are down
I was a little red-lipped porcelain doll, fragile, precious
Caught in-between a bitter battle of ex-lovers, red-alert: I'm in danger

Confused, I ran away as far and as fast as my feet can take me
The rain greeted me, "where have you been?" as if nothing happened at all
The swirl of emotions I couldn't take
Most especially the feeling of Jealousy, Anger, and Betrayal my friend gave me
