Description She stands in the rain,
I call her name,
Guilt clouding my mind.

She stands still, her hair plastered to her drenched face,
Not heeding my cries.
She’s angry! She’s tired!
She’s had enough…
She won’t look me in the eyes!

She’s not heeding my cries.
I’m sobbing, losing control…
Desperate!--but my feet won’t move
But hers are starting to.

No! Don't leave me here!!
Don’t let the guilt swallow me whole!
Forgive me! Please come pick me up--don’t just drop me so!

No…No…No—
Don’t…let me go!

She’s taking the steps, she’s walking away…
I can’t move; I’m drowning in this guilty pool.

My heart's frozen, shattered into a thousand pieces...
Pieces that I’m afraid I won’t ever find again…!

She walks away,
Not heeding my cries,
Leaving me behind.
No--It’s too late!
Why oh why did I hesitate?
With me, without me,
She’s saying—
Good bye.

I love the amount of drama in this poem, it's almost cinematic. It's not just straight up telling a story, it's putting emotion and tension into it.
