Rain's Song
It's rolling down the window
And down the open pane.
To come in and land on my floor
And so I welcome the rain.
I long to walk in the cold water
Under all that endless rain.
Embracing all the sweet memories
Of before our lives became insane.
But it's safer here with my books.
Reading only what I want in this sanctuary.
To keep me from emotions,
And all that my life could be.
I've captured my heart
And I keep it at bay in the cold.
I've given up the need to speak
Or even once be bold.
But if once more I walked outside
Underneath the clouded sky.
I think I would want to go back
To before we said goodbye.
Still these drops call out to me
"Come out into the world you run from."
But my tears run with the rain's song,
And suddenly, I don't want to see the sun.
