"On the Inside"
The raindrops slowly dripped down my face,
But no one could tell I was crying.
Outside, the clouds formed a heart,
On the inside, I was dying.
I looked for you throughout the day,
Until you called and you explained.
Then, the tears slowly dripped down my face,
You wanted to talk, but I complained and whined.
You said you would be home in less than a week,
But it took almost a month for you to leave.
When I saw your face for the very first time,
You wiped away my tears with your unfamiliar hands.
