As You Separate - Poetry by Neelum Afridi

"As You Separate"

Clouds were heavy, 

Still would curb

Not to burst,

Rambled to lighten

The heft.

Cracked the clouds, 

Couldn’t constrain,

Dripped the rain, 

Heavily it abate.

Clouds acclaimed,

"It's not 

The rain

But

The tears,

As you separate."
