IT STARTED TO RAIN

Once upon a time
There was a love
Where it went, I know not
It flew out with the deceit 
And the lies 
I looked outside the window
To see where it flew
I scanned each blade of grass
I tore apart the garbage
I caressed the footprints on the side walk
I rummaged through the poop
Through the burned kerb
Through the empty soda bottle
Through the blotches of petrol on the streets
It was not there
Then it started to rain
Warm blobs on my face
Mingling with hot tears
I couldn't see the rain, nor the tears
I could see the love
