A Dream In The Rain

When I started this one it just seemed to take on a life of it's own.

Softly, gently like a soothing melody falls the rain

Sparkling brilliant gems against the windowpane

As I gaze down onto the empty road below

A solitary lamp shares it's luminescent glow

 

Down stairs and onto the street I flee, now I am free

Lifting my face I feel the water flow deliciously over me

The night draws me in, cloaking me in its dark embrace

The memories of our forbidden tryst  I cannot erase

 

A shiver runs down my spine...it is not a shiver of fear

But every cell in my body is screaming you're near

There you are waiting at our special place under the tree

We know this is wrong but without each other we cannot be

 

The wind picks up and the leaves fall like confetti at our feet

This is the moment, when our treacherous  lips meet

But no your lips are not warm and passionate but a mist

For you have long since left this realm, bled from your wrist

 

Now I remember why we cannot be, this world was not meant

For you and me, while the time we had together was well spent

But now I search the streets to catch a glimpse of you in the rain

Yet all I find is sorrow and pain, for a ghost you will always remain

the havoc left in wake of suicide... I have found that as the days pass, the feelings of mourning and guilt fall away to a feeling of rage and deception. as the one left begins to see how selfish an act. This reminds me of the song "yesterdays rain"... I relate to this and it is a wonderful work.

Thank you, I happen to agree with you it is a selfish act in the end, still we can't know how it feels to walk in another's shoes. I'm not familiar with that song, who sings it?

[StrixNebulosa]

Its a Gary Allen song... its country so its taste isnt for everyone, but this just reminds me of it. I think its a good song because its written for his wife at the time that had committed suicide. He wrote many about that and if you can find his final thought on that subject its a song not on any album of his called "you let me down" if knowing what's behind the words doesn't bring some emotion out then that person must really hate country music...

This sounds very interesting I will look for it. Thanks ...

I found the lyrics, simple, heartfelt and touching. I also found the song on YouTube but unfortunately neither version had any sound ... I wish I could have heard it.

This is so beautiful. Perfectly describe the feeling when you miss someone but he/she's not there anymore.
