She Walks Like Rain

-She Walks Like Rain-
by
Keaton Foster



Up and down the street
Part of a vivid dream
Turned abundantly real
Imagination mired in truth
Impossible at times she seems
Intended in every scope and detail.

She walks like rain
I know her every game
Each moves she makes
Each heart she breaks
Are all part of our
Newly defined fate.

Her and I
Have both made our mistakes
Her and I
Have both suffered
At the hands of others
But unlike me
She is no longer weak.

She is like a thousand storms
Turning in the sea
She is like a million lightning strikes
Shattering the sky
She is like every crack of thunder
Forced into the soul of a being
That has had all that she can take.

Above the sky and below the sea
She is determined
To make all of them pay
Revenge is a two way street
And she is about to turn
It into a torrent stream.

She walks like rain
Washing away the hopes
Of those who took hers
Leaving them naked and accused
Battered and severely bruised
And in the process she will
Dismantle all fear.

Any place that she goes
Any person that she
Intimately knows
Is easily washed away
Cleaned from the world
An impossible stain
Forever removed.

Only when all that she
Has ever been shown is gone
Washed away to another place
Erased from what it means
To be a most human of being
Weak creatures of sickening need
Will she be completely free
To do as her and I both dream.

She is my creation
A displaced reality
Of what could be
If I had the courage to be like her
I would not have had
The need to create her
And all that she means.

She walks like rain
Making everything clean
Washing away the pain
Displacing the shame
Creating a new world
In which her and I
Can dare to be
One and the same…
