Here I Stand and Face the Rain

I stand before you in this rain You keep dry in the open doorway Fully aware of this growing pain Waiting silently till something, you say I step towards you, but I refrain For breaking your heart, this price I pay At the threshold you remain Standing here soaking, I will stay Thoughts rush inside, like a pounding train Wondering when, my heart, you’ll slay Any second now, you’ll leave me maim Please forgive me; I hope, I pray You close the door, but at least you came I said I could take it, come what may But now the tears in mine eyes won’t tame The fibers of my very heart begin to fray. I knew I shouldn’t have tried to attain A soothing forgiveness, how cliché I should never have hoped, you’d be humane Never the less my heart’s in dismay I truly hoped you'ld feel the same the tenderness from yesterday But I accept your burning blame For you are the one I did betray
