Like Rain

~Related image
These tears, like rain, so soothe a fragile mind
They cleanse me of the woes of life's embrace
Thus wash away the sins of all mankind
that even precious sunlight can't erase

Beneath a broken angel's flightless wings
each raindrop offers solace as it falls
It comforts, in my mind, the harshest things
that every harmful memory recalls

But though the thunder roars amid the rain
a silence hides the words I leave unsaid
I'll let the falling raindrops ease the pain
while never losing sight of what's ahead

For surely brighter days will calm my soul
But as for now, let rain consume me whole
~
