Rainy Days (Free verse) by Minnow
Drifting away in the back seat of my buddies car Eyes were drawn to the angel sitting on the edge of her lonely star Awakened, I am going far Try to elevate the rain that's been fallen kind of hard With my rusted chains I have climbed up so very high Forgot to go back down to see how I would've died And as I reach the top of this woven hill I recall anger I should have never felt Fall on another day another way but not from heaven's gates Stop all the anal worries the anger stories just to have a slice of cake Worry when it's over; worry when it's over Made another trip down highway Hatey hate Just to hear the deafened souls, just to see her mangled face When I realize that I am looking in the mirror Reflections shined on me that never could be clearer I try to find a way to save my worthless face From all the melting past, from all the coming hate Might have learned another lesson but now its far to late What I regret are my attempts to lose my given faith Fall on another day another way but not through heavens, dirty fateful gates Rise from the underbellies the made up stories just have the will to take Worry when its over, worry when it's over, the ride is over Never thought I'd have lived to see these days, to feel disgraced From all the worries From all the stories Of honors found in Useless glory We had it all, but never did we know we would find it old We were lied to and never were we to see it fade any other way Its over Its over, and it wont ever return the same Its over We're older Who would've ever thought we would live to see these rainy days? These classic rainy days, yeah Never would have lived if I'd had known it would all end up Washed away like this. Never would've taken a shot if I'd have known I'd completely miss With all that I've lost; that which I miss the most Are all the words that swelled up before the storm swallowed me whole. To put a face on all the hate I feel would not be any wiser To hide away this public pain might bring days of much clearer Maybe now under the sun I could find some warmth and answers But as the sky clears up the clouds always seem to find A way to infiltrate the skies, a way to casually invade my mind Fall on another day another way but not through heavens, dirty broken gates Stop all these over melodic bullshit stories Have the will to take the world you once Thought that you could save But now its over It's been over since the start of these flooded uncolored days Its over We've grown older Who would've ever wanted to live to see these rainy days? These classic rainy days, yeah Never would have lived If I'd had known I'd end up old and gray Like these classic rainy days. These classic rainy days, yeah

some holes in the flow, but the imagery and remorse are vivid, almost alive! Anyway, great poem I really felt what you were saying about the unforeseen rainy days...
