Rain

The rain is falling down tonight
As I close my eyes there you are again in my sights
My memories of my moments frozen in time won't let me sleep
So even though I feel strong
It's a sensation which is all wrong
Cause the visions that run through my mind leaves me feeling broken, cold, alone and week
It's something completely hopeless
So very helpless 
To the point where I can't breathe
You hear the rain hit the ground
You try very quietly not to make a sound
Even though your screaming inside
You wish so much from all this you can run and hide
But there's no where to which you can go
And this I am all too familiar with and so very much know
It follows you everywhere so no sense in fighting it any longer
And even when you give in the feeling just keeps getting stronger
You are my love suicide
To all your desires I would so very willing abide
I see me there you holding me tight as we lie in your bed
And for the first time in a long time I finally am revived so completely alive and not dead
I sit there hanging on your every word that is said
I'm so captivated by your love
That I then no longer am raptured from all my heartaches that swing from the ceilings above
You are the only man who will ever be
The one who could take me to palces I have never before seen
And you are the only man I would so completely and willingly
Totally capture and ravish me
And then I remember how she is the one holding you 
Doing the things to you I so much long to do
Look at her closely, does she look back at you with the love she should
I'm there in the back of your mind and you know that if it was me there with you now I would
There's no doubt I would stare right through to your soul so intently it would take away your 
breath
Then you would get it and my love for you will then reveal to you it's depth
Yeah now the rain is really starting to pour
And I know if only you were here with me right now in this moment and in time from now on  
the rain would then have no reason to fall anymore...
