Window's Canvas

It was rain splattering against the glass,
the night as the window’s canvas.
The words that beckoned
what another’s heart has forsaken,
to touch what is unwritten
even as the raindrops fell unbidden.
A dystopia of emotions
pulled by gravity,
clashing against limitations,
its doom on the flooded street.
Or until it crashes onto a pane,
lingering there until heaven’s end;
because the night is the window’s canvas,
and the surging darkness ever attempting to devour the glass.
