Mourning Skies

Driving In The Rain

You told me not to drive

When the pain really bore down

But it's become the only option

When I want to leave town

So I grabbed the keys

And stormed out the door

Into the rain

Watching it pour

Dark clouds rolled in

To fit the growing mood

Doors unlocked

I can finally brood

Over reminisced times

And I long to cry

I want to rip out my lungs

Wishing for a reason why

I pulled out of the drive

And into the lane

Watching tears drop and

Simply fade with the rain

That's when I lost it

Pounding on the wheel

Sobs racking my ribs

Wishing to again to feel

Anything but this hole

That you've left in my heart

Because when you left me

You took with you that part

Now glass shatters

This time it's near

A siren sounds

It's as I fear

There's blood in my eyes

And it's from my chest

Dripping in puddles

Upon my cheek they rest

As the light fades out

I hear you say,

"I told you not

To drive this way."
