Tears in the Rain

By silverael

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Can't hide my tears in the rain Can't let it soothe or wash away my pain Or mend the sorrow that shatters my heart, Slowly tears my mind apart -- I left you standing under the sky, I left you standing, asking me why, But I left you standing all the same, Left you standing, whispering my name -- And I whisper yours, but you cannot hear When it falls from my lips like that crystal tear That travels down and over my cheek, When it is caught in my throat; I cannot speak Without the words rending my soul Into a thousand pieces, taking their toll As I lift my face up to the rain, Letting it pour down my misery and pain...
