// Rain 
// Story: anthology of sadness and other stuff

I hate the rain 
as it taps away 
slowly melting my sugary smile 
and candy coated exterior 
leaving me bare 
to its cold caressing 
as I hide behind the tears of a clown 
letting the rain strip me of colour
but wait
what’s that
the tapping
it’s gone
as light brakes through a dreary sky 
as its warmth
removes a colder touch
revealing the smile 
of a rainbow
upon the heels 
of wilting wolf’s bane
and stormy days.
