Prayer for Rain
She stands alone
All tathered and torn
Beneath gray clouds
Looking for her silver lining
Mother told her
Be cautious of who you choose
A woman's cry for love
Can fall upon deaf ears
She trembles
Loss of innocence
His smell upon her body
She prays for the rain
Wash away her sins
Cleanse her of his memories
Grow back that which has been cut away
Let her be reborn
