Raindrops
Yo' I often go outside and stand in the rain in hopes of disguising my tears,Hoping that the raindrops from my eyes clouds eyes blend in with the rain from the heavens.
This rain has flooded my heavens gates so many times and I...just...can't stand the rain against my window,
It hits it and breaks it and drips through the cracks like blood from untreated wounds worn too long.
It falls on my back like titanium bullets piercing my pride's armor causing me to produce raindrops of my own.
This rain has flooded my heart and drowned me in sadness and depression,
See this rain has slowly seeped through the cracks of my cranium crawling down the crevices and creeks of my brain,
Penetrating my pituitary gland making me... forget who I am.
This rain...
I just can't stand against my window.
It taps it at constant rate and pace driving me mad, making my heart race.
See this rain falls on my head in the cold weather
And rolls down my cheeks leaving ash lines down my face that I wear everyday; Proof of my pain.
This rain...this pain...
Has joined the hurricane in my mind and the storm in my soul and softened my heart,
Broke it into millions of pieces and washed it away so many times.
So here I stand,
In the middle of this thicket of thorn bushes tryin' so hard to keep my eyes closed so I won't catch a glimpse of that grass on the other side that looks so green,
But every time,
Every night I see you walk away from me and thunderstorms rage out of my tear ducts and
I... just...can't control this rain... this pain remains no matter what I do and wish that I had the power to control it.
You never notice it until it falls on you.
See this rain has got me holding my breath until my face turns blue,
I cant wait until the day when my clouds are parted and this rain is through.
See I just cant stop thinking about you.
See, this rain falls so heavily that at times I cant even see out my own two eyes
This rain has got me wondering why I continue to cry, I mean... drop rain drops
This pain won't stop no matter how much I try so I go out side and start climbing up this water spout
And out comes this pain... this rain...
And washes me all out then once again here comes you and you dry up all my rain.
And here I am climbing up this god dang water spout again...
