WATERPROOFED

Rain will seep in

Without a sound

And do its damage

Then you’ll wake up

See the mess

And think you’ll manage

Fixing the cracks

Has never been easy

So prepare to deal

With unrest and uneasy

This is the part

When you’ll realize the pain

And the pleasure

Of being wet in the rain.

Can you ever be waterproofed

Can you ever have a safety net

Can you ever be so insulated

That you live to forget.

Wind-chimes will clatter

Raindrops will tease the panes

And you’ll introspect

Damp shadows will form

In the corners of your mind

When you retrospect.

Thunderstorms are tricky

They come without informing

The nights will be rough

The days won’t be heart warming

This is the part

When you’ll realize the extent

Of what was meant to be

And how things went.

Can you ever be waterproofed

Can you ever have a safety net

Can you ever be so insulated

That you live to forget.
