...

i hear the rain, quietly
tapping
again, on a distant dream
with it's deceiving softness
that my heart
took for solace

it was the saline tears
that rolled down
on my blistered cheeks
the bitter grain
of hope you have tasted
on my lips
as i, quivering
spoke
in tongues you never
understood

let the moonlight cast
shadows on my door
to which you hold the key
let darkness
come, that i
may be left in peace
oh! please dont let
the rain in,
find me!
