Waiting For The Rain

I wait for the rain to start

I wait for the pain to stop

waiting doesn't help much

in fact, it makes things worse

you are my rock, my shelter

the one thing that keeps me going

the pain I see in your eyes kills me

knowing I am the cause of that pain

seeing what your absence does to me

should be enough to make you stay

the worst part is not your absence

but your presence

having you there is great

but knowing you're leaving hurts

the rain has finally began

the pain has only deepened
