Rain Storm Last Night Poem by Rita Shay

One night sorrow spilled out of me.
And tears came for everything that needed crying for.
They rained down harder than ever before
Like a storm that moans louder the longer it goes.

Into my pillow went painful cries
To muffle the sound of agony.
So no one would have to wake and hear
Sighs slicing through the cold night air.

But when it is late enough
And the world is sound asleep
No one can hear sorrow weep.

At night at some hour
Grief drips from broken sinks
And other things.

I chocked out my regrets.
The kind that hold you so tight
You run the risk of going numb
And feel those mistakes will never let you go.

I cried the heartache that my loved ones feel
Oh people are so brave when they put on their happy faces.

There was an ocean toppling over inside of me
And last night I finally set it free.
