Sunshine

Sunshine The gray sky was crying, My tears mixed with the rain I waited for the sunshine, But the sunshine never came The rain poured down endlessly, Clouds would not disappear The sun fades from memory, The rain is all I hear Suddenly I twinkle Catches my sad hopeless eyes Now rain is only a sprinkle, Clouds clear from the sky I wrote this a long time ago about substance dependence Sunshine The twinkle became my sunshine, But a mimic of the real I said goodbye to sad times, Only joy now I can feel But my artificial sunshine Changed as time went past It's warmth not a soothing, It's shine would no longer last A long time had passed Since I felt the rain Terrified I was To feel the pain again So now every day I need it, The twinkle, the Suns maim For now if I am without it, I'll drown in all the rain
