Today I awoke to the sound of rain
I oddly feel more rested, so I cannot complain
For today, I do not hold this shower in disdain
There are no plans from which I need to refrain
The rain perfectly compliments my melancholy
Whereas the sun would’ve guilted me to feel jolly
There’s the rhythmic pitter patter on the glass
This batch of rainfall did not warrant any flash
Might be a lot of introspection today
Sure the rain will do some washing away
Not of the wounds, but the dirt hiding them
Maybe I shouldn’t paint the rain so dim
But those neurons just keep firing
And I can feel the strength of the wiring
Strong enough to push the breath out of my chest
Strong enough to prevent closing my eyes for rest
Strong enough to make memories seem real
But enough of that, here’s the deal
All of that died, and a piece of me right with it
And what replaced it was rotting regret
Eyes darker than a future sealed by crows
And I’m just pretending time is softening blows
One day those raindrops won’t hurt so much
Because each memory sends me into a crunch
Of those pains you can’t see but only feel
A feeling of being molded to molten steel
If only the regret was placed different
And like that the day has me spent
Let’s see if tomorrow we awake without the rain
Maybe some sun, to blind out the pain
