Worst First

Numbness

of the driving rain,

missing you

in rivulets of pain.

Ice blue spikes

shattering my heart.

Pounding

on my somber soul

reminding me of you

in streams

of sodden memories

Drowning

for all the wrong reasons

but at least

I can still sense

Palpation

of the raindrops

hoping one day

to quench

my thirst

with the soothing balm

of liquid sunshine.
