Contemplation In the Rain

Walking in the rain
Feeling my way down this path
I've walked here too many times
Too familiar with the way this is gonna end
Can I not change this?
Make a turn in the road?
Why do I need to always go down this road?
I'm not fully to blame.

Dancing in the rain
Feeling the droplets landing on my skin
A cold kiss to my warm body
Gradually getting numb to all the pains
Starting to feel myself slowly going back
Not wanting to always go back
Why do I need to go back?
I'm not going back.

Thinking in the rain
Feeling a melody perched on the edge of my lips
Words wanting to spill out
But the longer you wait, the harder it gets
Words hidden into the depths of my mind
But me, not wanting to pull them out any longer
Stepping into the shadows

Crying in the rain
Feeling hot tears dripping down my cheeks
Teardrops heavier than the rain on my face
Emotions swirling through the night sky
Wishing you would tell me everything's okay
But knowing it's not
It's too late
