A walk in the rain



Walking out in the rain,
Watching it clean the world again,
I let it hide my tears,
And wish it drowns all my fears,
Even as my heart burns,
It is for you that it yearns,
And yes I’m alone,
Taking this long walk back home.

I’d clear my head,
But I think of you instead,
Spiraling downward again,
Via stairs I failed to mend,
You come as a surprise,
Every time I open up my eyes,
And yes I’m alone,
Looking up traces of you on my phone.

I’m living a lie,
Ever since I saw you cry,
And here I stand,
Watching myself lose my best hand,
Throw away the cards,
Cover up some of those scars,
Wanting to get into your head,
Drawing up a dead end instead,
And yes I’m alone,
Struggling to find my way back home.
