“I held her close to me with my eyes closed, wondering if anything in my life had ever been this perfect and knowing at the same time that it hadn't. I was in love, and the feeling was even more wonderful than I ever imagined it could be.”

I listen to the rain

I feel it wash my pain

It tames and calms my storms

It destroys but then reforms

I watch as water pours

I fight to hold back more

I cry out on my knees

I beg to be left be

I need time to heal these wounds

But the clock is up too soon

I need to find some way

To save me from my fate

I lock away all trust

I lock away too much

I am broken beyond repair

I have given into this despair 

I have sunken into this defeat

I am exposed to the pain inside of me
