When The Rains Came

When the rains came, he told me. When the rains came, all would be solved, all would be well.

When the rains came, it became a state of mind, one that flowed through our whole lives. When the rains came, that was the key, so today wouldn't matter.

When the rains came, that day built up power, as it needed to fix so much, to make up for so much neglect. When the rains came.

When the rains came, it was much later than he thought, but they still came.

But when the rains came, they washed away everything.

Everything.
