I love the rain. 991007 ... me The dark sky and ringing of rain on the roof in the middle of the day... cold outside, but inside no place to go, nothing that has to get done. In each other's arms.

Warm. 991101 ... trakie one night my mother and i were in church praying. i couldn't concentrate, all i could hear were squeaking pews, people coughing, paper rustling. so i went outside and stood in the pouring rain, letting large drops fall on my head then run down my face, and i felt God there. 991205 ... jennifer Jennifer: I can't take this anymore! I can't handle this life anymore. I just need everything to stop for just a day, maybe two days. I need to figure out why I'm so... (fucked) up. I just need to figure everything out... anything. I need to understand why I can't see anymore. Why I can't hear anymore. Why there is no more music or laughter or nice words or anything. There is just nothing. I can't feel anymore. I've become (fucking) numb. I have no love inside me anymore. I have nothing. I just can't do anything. I just can't live anymore. I'm just not living. I think I just need to stop. I just need to stop. (Jennifer sits down on the ground) I just need to stop. To stop. It rains. 991205 ...

Her breath soothed the battered fragments of my remarkable soul and time stood still as tourists walked by, hiding from the cool, cool rain. Embrace the rain, you never know what could happen and always, always go into the woods. 000924 ... Raina it's me. holding in feelings until they well up within and I have to release. it's just plain me. 000925 ... twiggie i was upset, and so was she. so i told my parents i'd be across the street at her house, and she told her parents she'd be across the street at mine. it was warm outside, one of the many summer nights we spent together. too late to be outside, our parents said. and that's why we lied. we took off our shoes and socks, and walked. all we did was walk and cry and talk to eachother, we walked until there was nothing to be upset about anymore, we walked until our clothes weighed us down because of how wet they were. it was the first night, in the 3 years we had been friends, that i realized she was the only person i knew that i could tell everything to, and she would understand me. every day in summer that it's raining, i think about that night. i think about how badly i want to call her up and ask her to go for a walk with me so we can spill everything to eachother. but then i remember the distance between us now, 1500 miles apart, and i realize that it's impossible. i sometimes cry, i sometimes occupy myself with something else, but i always remind myself that i know that she'll always be my best friend. 001212 ... Rhin When I look toward the sky, and see the nimbus clouds roll in, I always smile. I absolutely love the rain! Do you know how tranquil, the sound of rain on a tin roof is? Do you ever walk in the rain, and just stop motionless, so that you can concentrate on every droplet, that alights upon your face, and begins to snake it's way down over your skin? Do you delight in seeing a rainbow, after a rain shower? When I was little, my mother said that the rain, was God's tears. Hmmmmm, have to think about that one... Have you ever made love, with the ground as your bed, and the trees as your blanket - the only other sound, are the creatures of the forrest, and the rain droplets that make their way down past the canopy of leaves, only to soak your body, and his body - leaving you both glistening - wet hair matted to your face. Your body heat fighting against the chill of the water...and those wet lips? Mmmmmmm! I also just happen to have a thing for umbrellas! I have this huge lime green one, and it is so colorful and cheerful looking, that it invariably brings smiles to those who see it. I do what I can! Like anyone needs a reason not to smile on a rainy day! 001213 ... tourist You only THINK it's the umbrella, I bet it's just YOU. 001213 ...

Erin I took your hand And I pulled you as hard as I could For you didn't quite comprehend Where I might be taking you We charged down the stairs You were taken back by concern I opened the door To the most pleasing sight on earth The sky shaded pale blue The drops drizzling to the muddy ground Yeilding you followed Trusting my odd request I took both of your hands I looked into your playful eyes we rain barefoot as the rain drenched our clothes It felt so cooling It felt so comforting Knowing neither of us did not care I had never experienced so much passion I had never felt you understood me Until the day we danced in the rain. 010118 ...

BrittStar anger swallows all emotions, the sadness consumes my heart, energy spent, tears run dry, floating as if i'm nothing, all i see is invisible, no words to speak, no thoughts come to mind, i want to scream out loud, but no sound comes, i want to run, but my legs won't move, i want to escape, but the pain follows, i want to leave this sadness behind, but it stalks, when will i be free, from all that hurts, from the empty, the lonely, the silence, free from the void
