Bottom Of My Heart

3. Let The Rain Fall...

 Walking through the woods

I wandered along, all alone

Through the trees, on the dried leaves

Through the waters, on the pebbles and the stones

 Guilt, anguish, pain, hatred

All that I felt

I wanted to let it out

And let it pass by

 As a habit of mine

I couldn’t let it out on anyone else but me

It was all because of him

The culprit, no one else but he.

 Drop by drop, drop by drop

They started falling down

And along came the others

Merging in with gods’ own

 I looked up, my hands spread, the drops rolling down

My face burning hot

I let the rain fall

And let it swipe away all the pain which hurt a lot

 Let the rain fall

And along with it take it all

Take it all away

I don’t want it anymore

 These tears, pointless, worthless

They also flow along

And with the raindrops

Like rhythm and lyrics, they fit in like a song

 Now, I am running and screaming

What have I done, what should I do

Ghost of my past, cuts through me like a knife

How can I forget, it is still a part of my life.

 She says, it’ll all be ok

So do you, and so does he

But I say there is no need, not anymore

I just want this past let go me.

 Just let the rain fall

And along with it, take it all

Take it all away

I don’t want anyone else to be able to say

 All of those bad things they did then

Fun for them it was, but hurt me

The impact it has left

Can’t you all still see...?
