Shrug to the Inevitable

No amount of thick skin
Slight avoidance
Thinnest of thin
And a stockpile of sincerest apologies
Will be dealt as never suffice
Knowing that a future of you and I
Was always ever doomed
But the rain
We predict it to fall on days
Based on the previous
We traced
Too obvious
How it precipitated
To this torrent or monsoon


It happened so fast
It ended too soon

And yet very much expected
Too typical and not isolated
But never to the actors involved
Never to those at fault
