"Generic and Boring" by Rachel

I cried for you tonight.
On a bed of concrete with a wooden pillow,
I cried for you.
Somehow
even with blue skies above me,
I knew it would rain.

And it did.

4 years has changed so much
Not enough to matter, though.

I'm still here, crying in the rain.
You're still gone.
I still miss you.
I still catch myself writing for you.
They call it "Generic and boring," but I don't care.
I write anyway.

1.2.3.4 years and I can't let you go.
My grasp is tighter now it seems.

I tried to find a replacement-you,
but they weren't up to the task of having me for a friend.

You really were special.

Maybe now that I've cried myself out and the rain is dwindling down to a drizzle,
I can stop writing.
Maybe now I can sleep.

But I doubt it.

Any progress I've made is tainted.

Because I cried for you tonight.
 
Or maybe for myself.
Either way, I'm weak.
And I can't do it anymore.

I just want to forget crying.

For you,
For me,
For us.

No, instead I'll cry for the tonights
that never happened.

And all the ones that did.

The closing of this hits very hard indeed; you've perfectly expressed that emotion here. Deeply poignant, touching write that is sadly too familiar. Lovely.

This is beautiful. Such subject matters are often a bleak chunk of ugliness but this is somehow gently luminous - the imagery that you have woven makes it so. Heart-wrenching. . wonderfully constructed . . painfully fine ~ Rose
