&ldquo;You&#039;ve gotta dance like there&#039;s nobody watching,<br /> Love like you&#039;ll never be hurt,<br /> Sing like there&#039;s nobody listening,<br /> And live like it&#039;s heaven on earth.&rdquo;<br /> -William W. Purkey

The sky
Drowns the world
In silent sorrows
Of it's own.

Oversized droplets
Create a harmony
Of misunderstood
Memories.

Like the raindrops gently forming puddles
In my eyes,
All you are
Is a faded blur.

Drowning in a confusion
Of tears,
I'll let them
Tell me a story.

The author's comments:
I wrote this poem as a reflection of a past relationship of mine. I spent weeks upon weeks feeling upset and depressed about the situation, but for an unknown reason. I think many people can relate to this in the way that sometimes, events may make us upset, but for an unexplainable reason.
