POEM:
Another Rain-Soaked Love Letter
By
Thomas Koron
As I walked on through an endless downpour,
Across the dark street, the pouring rain swept.
It had been days since the last time I slept—
Wondering if you loved me anymore.
Once I made it home, I unlocked the door,
Then placed the keys where they were always kept.
Into our dark, empty bedroom, I stepped
And left my wet shoes on the wooden floor.
At first, we were close, then both became scared,
And separated to think things over—
Hoping time might help to make things better.
Over on the nightstand we had once shared,
I reached across a wrinkled bed cover
To hold another rain-soaked love letter.
