About This Poem
Rain Song
You played me like a violin
I can't believe I fell again
But clouds revealed the moon, and I was shaken
Your eyes were closed
Your words were spare
You ran your fingers through my hair
But from your whispered breath, dark lies were spoken,
The moon betrayed me, .......a storm is waking.......
The moon betrayed me........ a storm is breaking.......
Those empty words that still resound
pound in my head and I have found
Your love was like a tunnel going nowhere -
I crossed a bridge
And took a risk,
I fell right in,
But couldn't swim
The drowning rush surrounds me like a river
I dived in it........I can't deny it
I survived it........to cry a river
You came to me without a plan
I should have known that it would end
The echo of the thunder tried to warn me
A distant voice
Inside my head
A cloud appeared with laden air
And pulled me where the heart's a frozen ember
I see the lightning...... I am frightened
I hear the plunder.... of wretched thunder
I hear it now, the pouring rain
It beats against the window pane
And now the chill just sends a quiver through me
Storms only come
When I'm alone
Torrential songs are drowning me
A broken heart can't stop the rain from coming in
Where hearts are broken.......rain has spoken
Where hearts are broken.......rain has spoken
