I SHOOK THE CLOUDS

I shook the clouds
asking them why you took your love away from me,
asking them why you left me crying with the rain
of the storms that brewed in their bellies
with the downpour drenching my clothes
inside my heart.

You were so sweet
so loving
and your heart beated
in rhythm with mine.

I know that I was the man
who made you happier
than any in the world.
Why did you have to run from your fears
instead of having the courage to face them
and to face life, with me?
