(rain)

as the rain

falls

i

look up

"I've come through a thousand nights

with a sadness that never ends...

eternal"

enternity... the abyss that holds

me prisoner in a cold wasteland...

left only with memories...

and as i watch the rain fall,

i look up

and think that

if each raindrop

was a person

they'd be gone

in a second

i know

"all humans must die...

like a scar...

leaving only a memory..."

and as it rains

i look up and wonder why

am i still here?

i know that answer...

"it hurts"

and as the summer rain falls...

i look up

"i'm drowning...

in your tears...

they flood this heart...

this heart that shouldn't exist"

and i stand here

as the summer rain falls

and a breeze filled with flowers

brushes against my cheek...

"like a scar...

i know all humans must die...

leaving only a memory..."

a memory

"please... don't come back

it hurts"

and as a gentle summer rain falls

and a breeze filled with flowers

brushes against my cheek,

i look up and try

to forget my past

memories...
