When The Rain Pours
Chills running down my spine
My bones aching
Every turn I take, I was met with it’s watchful stare
There was no escaping
Faster and faster
I ran to the point of exhaustion
Puddles of water splattering with each step
Soaked shoes slowing me down
I couldn’t stop
Not yet, just a little longer
I turn into the darkness
Running into the storms
Thunder strikes bringing me to a halt
I shouldn’t have stopped
My breath hitched, as I take a step back running away
I had to escape it
Faster and faster
As quick as my legs carried me
I look up as the dark clouds chased me
Ready to consume me whole
As my speed quickens at the lights of safety
Adrenaline coursing through me
Just a little longer
The wind howls
The thunder strikes again
The end was near
Pellets bleeding through my clothes
I stopped and dropped to my knees
I’ve ran out of time
It’s cold touch wraps around me
I knew what was nexted
The end
I was nothing
Just Drenched yet Drained
The storm has fully consumed me
Who was I fooling
I couldn’t beat the rain
Resting on the ground as the lights fade out
My aching bones screaming
I always hated the rain
Nicely done writing your first piece!
