Don't Own Two Tone!
IT WON'T RAIN ALL THE TIME BY JANE SIBERRY
We
walked the narrow path,
beneath the smoking skies.
Sometimes you can barely tell the difference
between darkness and light.
Do you have faith
in what we believe?
The truest test is when we cannot,
when we cannot see.
Two Tone Jackson walked along the path next to the ocean by herself.
The rain poured down on her and soaked her to the bone.
I hear pounding feet in the,
in the streets below, and the,
and the women crying and the,
and the children know that there,
that there's something wrong,
and it's hard to belive that love will prevail.
And Yet, she couldn't seem to care. It had been exactly one year
since David died. The boys had gotten into a huge fight with Queens
over territory and Her david, ever the peace maker had received a
knife to the stomach when he had tried to pull Jack away from the
blade of Rope Collins.
Oh it won't rain all the time.
The sky won't fall forever.
And though the night seems long,
your tears won't fall forever.
Her friends had spent the last year trying to keep Two Tone from
doing something drastic. But they didn't understand what it was like
to lose someone you loved as fiercely as she had loved David
Oh, when I'm lonely,
I lie awake at night
and I wish you were here.
I miss you.
Can you tell me
is there something more to belive in?
Or is this all there is?
ANd Two Tone tried to keep a level head, to think of all the great
times they had together. But then those wonderful memories were
invaded by the ones of seeing Jack covered in his best friend's
blood, seeing the others crowded around their fallen friend.
In the pounding feet, in the,
In the streets below, and the,
And the window breaks and,
And a woman falls, there's,
There's something wrong, it's,
It's so hard to belive that love will prevail.
Two Tone just retreated back into her shell.
"I'm really worried about her" sarah had said to Jack.
"I'am too" he replied.
They didn't think she had heard them but she did.
Oh it won't rain all the time.
The sky won't fall forever.
And though the night seems long,
your tears won't fall, your tears won't fall, your tears won't fall
forever.
"Poor Crazy Two Tone" she muttered to herself as the rain poured
down.
Last night I had a dream.
You came into my room,
you took me into your arms.
Whispering and kissing me,
and telling me to still belive.
But then the emptiness of a burning sea against which we see
our darkest of sadness.
She wanted to be okay. She wanted David to be with her. She missed
him so much. His gentle smile and astonishing intelligence.
Until I felt safe and warm.
I fell asleep in your arms.
When I awoke I cried again for you were gone.
Oh, can you hear me?
She missed most of all, how wonderfully special he made her feel. She
could almost feel him with her, and he was.
It won't rain all the time.
The sky won't fall forever.
And though the night seems long,
your tears won't fall forever.
It won't rain all the time
The sky won't fall forever.
And though the night seems long,
your tears won't fall, your tears won't fall,
your tears won't fall
forever.
Two Tone smiled sadly. The rain had stopped. She was gonna make it
through, she had too. For him.
