Rolling Fate

Tonight I watched,
The dark clouds roll.
Tonight I felt,
The heat taking its toll.

The clouds grew,
And the birds were gone.
Blue skies,
Fell away like the sun.

The wind blew in,
The trees bent over,
Closed each window,
'til none were left over.

Small pellets fell,
Onto my hands,
The drops grew larger,
Over the farm lands.

I took off my shoes,
Kicked off my socks,
Ran to the door,
And undid the locks.

I jumped outside,
All warm and dry,
She stood inside,
Beginning to cry.

I came back,
All tired and wet.
I asked her "What's wrong?",
She continually wept.

I brushed the tears,
Away from her eyes.
Her voice was all,
Deep breaths and sighs.

She couldn't stand seeing me,
Dancing in the rain.
It brought back memories,
Of her and the train.

It was her and a friend,
Out at the tracks,
The rain came down,
As the train rolled back.

The rain was hard,
They didn't hear it coming,
The girls couldn't see,
The light that was shining.

My girl caught on,
But her friend was too late,
She turned her head and thought,
This couldn't be fate.

So as the clouds roll over,
After the sun has gone down,
I vowed to her,
I won't dance on the ground.
