Today, it rained.
I watched the drops race each other down the window panes
Wishing they were behind my eyelids and dripping down my cheeks
I wanted to sob for you
I listened to it pour against the cacophony of laughter and rattling dishes
Wishing I could stand under the clouds and make my own noise
I wanted to sing for you again
Today it rained.
It felt as if your arms were wrapped around my waist again
I wished to feel your curls against my cheeks
I wanted to feel your kiss again
It seemed as if you were taunting me to join you there
I wished I could climb the stars to hold your hands
I wanted to leave the day behind
Today it rained.
In my heart I was screaming for you to come back to me
I prayed I could have you for one last day
I wanted to say goodbye
In my head I told my lips not to quiver and peel
I promised I wouldn't cry over you like this again
I wanted to end my life
Today it rained
I cried out for help where there was none found
I clung to the chest of your ghost as I've always done
I wanted to close my eyes and sleep against it.
I laid my head down in the place yours once rest
I hid my face to hide the evidence of my woe
I wanted to fall asleep and never wake.
Today it rained.
And I wished it never would.
