I WEPT

I watched as black
Began to fall
And on your head
A rain did squall
A putrid drenching waterfall
And I wept

I watched you flail
In waters deep
The droplets splashed
Around my feet
And I wept 
And wept and wept

For I could not save you
Sweetest soul
Who suffered torment
Raw and bold
Just hold you as you 
Shook with cold and cried

For you tried so long
And you tried so hard
To shake the demons arm
Until the day
You found release
Wrapped up in angels balm
