ode to rain

drops of water fall on my outstretched hand i sat waiting for the rain to land

the falling of rain was like you and me memories out in the open for us to see

the rain dried up, the essence never did i cried but you never batted an eyelid

i was heartbroken, didn't you know? no, you were too busy watching the snow.

i looked at you with tears in my eyes did you care? no, all you ever told was lies.

i wish it was like rain, that could be wiped away but truth is i'll remember. at least for another day.

you have absolutely no idea what you did to me, you always said the rainbow would come but i can't see

well alas, let the rain wash me away i don't care if i see you another day

gwyn.
