The constant yet, sporadic, patter of the rain
seems to scatter my concentration
and ease the pain
In the beginning there was this euphoric elation
but now I struggle  in vain
to maintain, to remain, to perservere
In the beginning I was naive
unable to hear
the coming tragedy
I didnt know then that you
had come to conquer
to desecrate
what meant the most to me
what I held sacred

My thoughts
My love
My trust

Now, Here I am lying
on the floor in the rain
trying hard to make
myself overcome the pain
lost in the wake of my mistakes
so hard to breathe
never had a chance...
the puddles around me
ripple in a rhythmic dance
focus... Inhale... Exhale...
I can feel the blood drain
from my face as it pales
all the time, wasted, in vain...
time seems to slow
nothing else matters
the pain consumes
if I could only wake
from this dream
I would change it all
to avoid this fall

Wow...this is one of the best things I've read in awhile. I don't really know how to compliment it because I don't think I can do it justice. I just thought it was very powerful and very beautifully worded. Amazing job!
