Rain

The sound tickled her ears like feathers, making her smiled a little through the moisture of her eyes. She held out her hand, and a patch of wetness caught in her delicate palm. She tried to see through the tears which were brimming against her lids, but alas, she failed to control her tears.

She never felt so cold in her entire life. Not just the clouds were crying for her, she also cried for herself, for so many reasons.

Lightning stroke so beautifully against the pale grey sky, as thunder rumbled against her ears. She smiled again, more ruefully this time. The tress were swaying--dancing, even--and she hugged her teddy tighter in her arms, trying to force out some warmth from it.

The rain fell ever so gently on her rooftop, increasing with tempo until it wasn't a soft whisper against the window anymore. It was hard as rocks, hitting every surface at every angle. As if to wash away everything, even her memories that burned at the back of her mind.

She tried to erase those memories, to bury them up so she won't have to suffer over it. But it wasn't her choice, not even from the beginning. She could only accept her fate resentfully. Every smiles, every laughter, every tears... tore her from the inside. She was no longer complete.

Sound of the rain continued as her heart followed in synchronization, creating the flawless harmony together. Harmony, but tuneless, as her heart was empty.

Let it rain, she thought, let it rain. Just took away her everything. She didn't want any of it.

Let it rain.
