Foredoomed

Above billowy, grey clouds loom
While heavy rain drops plop and splash.
Against my heart memories lash.

Rumbling thunders snap, crack and boom.
My bitter past gushes forward
As my mind retraces backward.

Sparks of lightning portend a doom.
I recall how you had dumped me,
Playing games with my love with glee.

The black sky spreads a pall of gloom.
Desolate feelings in me rain
Giving me intense sorrow, pain.

Tears welled up fall finding no room.
You did deceive me, that is plain.
I understand, our love was in vain.
