Rain

Frozen by the depths of darkness Creeping in to find you defenceless. But it never leaves you, never lies, It's all beauty and all life. Pain is patient, Pain is kind Pain has love on its mind. Look for light, trust in the dark Not one without the other, No beauty without rain. So scorn me and drown me Hold me in the grip Of a thousand vices over my head Crush me and taunt me take me away Give me the guts to break free and run Beauty in the depths of despair broken bones and silver hair Keep me alive, keep me out of sin Lock the door, don't let me in.
