{This poem was inspired by, you guessed it, a rainy day. It's essentially from Dean's point of view as he talks about Cas, but not quite so literally.
It was also written on Misha's birthday, so I'm posting it in honor of him and dedicating it to him, although it really has nothing to do with his birthday. Happy 40th, Misha.
Also, to note, this poem has absolutely nothing to do with my fic, and I may or may not turn it into a song sometime. Please ignore my whackzoid punctuation as well.}
RAINFALL
~ The rain pitter-patters at my feet,
as they splash I think of tears
falling down from his starry blues,
so few shed throughout the years.
~ To see him cry is such a rarity
a precious gift given to a select few;
The pain he keeps hidden inside
I'm one of the only ones who knew...
~ Until occasionally breaks the dam
and heaven's floodgates burst open
The tears falling so fast and strong
All I can do is keep praying and hoping...
~ Keep praying and hoping...
~ That my baby will be okay,
that he'll glue himself back together...
That he'll make it through the day,
no matter what the weather...
~ That he'll know that I am here,
that he's got someone to hold onto...
That he can persevere,
and be the hero that he wants to...
~ And see, that's just the thing -
my baby doesn't always see
that he is indeed a hero,
a hero, a savior, at least to me.
~ He wants to take back his actions,
to find complete redemption,
but what he doesn't understand
is that he's already forgiven.
~ He tells me how far he's fallen
how he has to prove he's good
and how he's lost without his wings;
I'd give him a set if I could...
~I'd give him a set if I could...
~ Because in my heart he soars
he sets my stomach all a-flutter
his wings are wide and beautifully
spread, soft and smooth as butter
~ And in my mind he shines
as bright and hot as the sun
for me, it's quite obvious
he really is the only one.
~ It took me so long to realize
how much I needed him
before, I was lost at sea
and didn't know how to swim
~ But he became my anchor,
and washed away the fear;
I cling desperately to him now,
he's everything I hold dear...
~ I wouldn't trade him for the world
I would give my life to save him
no matter what it would cost
because this isn't just some whim
~ This isn't just some whim...
~ 'Cause I will love him for eternity
to the grave and back again
and even if it isn't right
for him, repeatedly, I'd sin
~ Our love is unstoppable
even through the veil of death
we'll love each other forever
to our very last breaths.
