rain, rain go away

the rain falls upon the quiet neighborhood.
slowly releasing from the heavens above.
pitter patter... pitter patter.
a boy sits i nthe dark with a 6in blade to his forearm.
not wanting to die, or just not having the guts to hang himself from the top bunk.
he listens as the rain falls.
pitter patter... pitter patter.
going over slowly what he does many times before.
a nice long slow cut to get things going.
blood runs down his arm slowly.
one cut after another untill the blood flows from him.
it runs ruby red down his arm....
onto his hand.
covering up what he use to see.
looiing at it. as it runs.
the pain was the best part...
the blood was just a bonus.
pitter patter... pitter patter.
tiny droplets falll to the carpet staining it red.
lying to himeself saying that was the last time...
pitter patter... pitter patter.
dead before he realizes he has gone to far.
pitter patter... pitter patter.
and all he knew watched as he fell from grace.
pitter patter... pitter patter.
gone without a word.
pitter patter... pitter patter.
with only the rain to wash away his sorrows.
pitter patter... pitter patter.
