rain & shine

The rain fell,
a testament to the storm in her heart.
The writings on the wall
had been clear:
Cease and desist.

And yet she forged ahead anyway.
The days of warmth and sun
replaced with a bittersweet sorrow.

If only the moments
that made it all seem real
could be bottled up and saved.

The rain fell,
washing away the illusions.
Leaving her with nothing
but an empty bottle

and a distant memory...
