Rivers of rain rush
Down to earth's dry soul
Dry as old bones

Water dripping off my hair
Makes paths down my forehead
Between eyebrows and the slope of my nose

Taste like tears mixed with rain
Have you ever loved someone so much...?
You knew it would never come again.

Gone, flushed away with the flood
hateful words, deeds, and years
Unable to go back but stuck in the now

This dry place of unfeeling and despair
Unspoken feelings and words lie buried
In this rock hard ground of regret

Too late to make amends
Rain pours down in black sheets
Onto a grey stone
