rain used to always make me feel at home. i loved the sound of those crystalline droplets splattering onto the shingles of the roof. i loved how the dark gray guise of clouds swallowed the sky whole, the way an eager child swallows a piece of candy. it comforted me, drove away my tears. perfection, peace, serenity; those were my synonyms for the word "rain."
then something happened.
god, did something happen, all right...
i thought i knew pain before that night in october. i thought pain was fighting with your parents, or finding out your supposed best friend was the one spreading those damned rumors about you, or coming home to see your dog ravaging that pillow your dead grandmother made you years ago.
pain used to be something that could be dealt with. pain has always hurt, of course, that's why it's called "pain" - but the scars never went so deep. the scratches scabbed over, healed. a few words could make everything seem better.
then everything changed.
the october sky was crying even before it happened.

-i didn't know where to put this as far as categories, so, i'm sorry if i placed it somewhere that didn't suit it.-
something i wrote months ago that i call a prologue. in my notebook, i wrote it without capitalization, so i kept it that way here.
i've been planning on working on this more, making it a full story. so we'll see what happens.

I like the imagery, it's really good. 
The ending left me wondering what had changed, so I am intrigued to see a continuation of this story. 
My only suggestion is that you use capitalization if you turn it into a longer piece, this one is fine like it is, but it's easier to read thicker stanzas if capitalization is used.
