So I was reading the Psycho Kitty Queen for the jillionth time, trying to make sense of it, when I got to the part where Casey tells Sammy to listen to Darren Cole's "Waitin' for Rain to Fall". It turns out there's no Darren Cole, unfortunately. But I was listening to Paramore's "The Only Exception" which I love, love, love to death because it has this amazing acoustic part the whole way through that literally gives me goosebumps. And then- a revelation! I decided that if Darren Cole doesn't exsist, then someone has to write the song.

I imagine it with the same kind of acoustic guitar part as "The Only Exception". Kind of like a boy-band ballad, like a guy singing to the girl of his dreams.

Okay- here it goes- my first attempt at posting poetry on FanFiction.

Waitin' for Rain to Fall

When fall turned to winter,

and the last golden-brown leaves fell to the ground,

I never knew that someone would come along,

and force me into

a state of breathlessness.

I never believed in love at first sight,

until I laid eyes on you.

All thoughts of reason gone,

my only anchor to the ground, the girl I love,

But complications of the life we live,

putting up walls between us.

But now it's time to let you know.

.

That here I am,

waitin' for rain to fall,

wash away the walls they've put between us,

true feelings revealed,

mine, as strong as ever.

.

Can't push thoughts of you,

into the corners of my mind,

can't take one step,

without wondering what you're doing tonight.

Why is it so easy,

to fall for what's unreachable?

But yet it's so hard,

to let your true feelings show.

The feeling's so strong,

that no words can describe,

so how can I tell her?

When words can't utter the feeling?

.

'Cause here I am,

waitin' for rain to fall,

wash away the walls they've put between us,

true feelings revealed,

mine, as strong as ever.

I've tried, I've tried,

to forget about you, to make life easier,

to please the others in this world

but how can I?

When the sight of you,

sets goosebumps on my skin,

and makes my heart beat a little faster?

Why can't I be the strong one?

Tear those miserable walls they put up,

down to the ground.

The truth is, what if she doesn't feel,

the way I feel?

My heart's gone from my chest,

posessed by you,

I can only imagine,

what rejection would do to my sad little heart.

I'll let time decide.

But in the meantime, I stand here,

waitin' for rain to fall,

wash away the walls they've put up between us,

so that love will be free to decide.

Well, I hope you all got it, because sometimes the poetry I write comes outta nowhere, making these abstract things. This is my first poetry, so try not to rip into me... that bad. But if you liked it, say so!
