Pitter-patter, the rain against the sill
Hurry up, close the windows before the cold is still
I stare ahead, wondering what will happen
Now that love is dead and happiness is forgotten
The blunder, the silence, the absolute pain
What more could I bear, what should I gain?
Why does it rain every time there's sadness?
Is it to match the longing for someone people miss?
I watch as clouds gather and stir up the storm
What else should I do, except wait for darkness to be born
And now that I've managed to bring down the past
The rain advised me to enjoy it while it lasts

Oh, what knowledge heaven must have to be this cold
To be part of something grand, it's beautiful, so I'm told
We could have been better off with ourselves
But, as usual, love never goes along the shelves
And then we see, the unfairness of the world
So our fate, down in the darkness, it's curled
The silence of the soul as well as its fluent nonsense
I hope you could understand even if I'm not in existence
You want me to speak, to tell you everything I am
But I tell you, my response is like a precious gem
I rarely speak, but when I do, it is a hurtful blast
So please, enjoy the silence while it lasts

And so, it's finally here—the end of it all
Should I come running when I hear the call?
You, my darling, are one beautiful art
Sadly, I am far away to own your heart
Slowly, you drift away, like you found me scant
Must you fill that longing with meaningless rant?
And yet, I let you go, I let you be
I let you enjoy your moments away from me
Be happy, be free, be whomever you are
Forget who I am and how we came so far
And so, I watch the rain, sad and downcast
I told myself to indulge the pain while it lasts

Where am I when you need me the most?
I am still here, I've never left my post
Now, where were you when I was in dire need?
You are nowhere to be found, you'll die by your greed
I hope you come back to show yourself once again
Hurry up now while you can still be forgiven
Of all the traitorous souls,  I chose you
So please, come back while I am still being true
You can find me on that same window, peering
I hope I could see you soon, I'd come running
Quick, while I'm still here—come fast
Come back home and taste my love, while it lasts

Being ghosted is such a pain and I think no one deserves to be left alone without closure. So yeah, now we have this poem as my response to that problem.

I wrote this in June 2017. I'm sixteen. lol.

So, what do you think of this poem? Comment below. :))
