The Evidence of Rain

The evidence of rain,
It's not so odd to see it.

But have you ever seen it really rain?
I mean like hard all night,

The rain that sounds like lead weights
as it beats the concrete sidewalks.

But then there was nothing,
Nothing at all the next day,

No lingering rainbows,
No water dripping from tall trees,

No clogged storm drains,
Not even a wet street,

Not even dark clouds,
Not a single puddle left to show it?

That's what depression is like.
