Its been dry for far too long

The air's got parched and dusty

I'm praying hard for rain to fall

My life's been arid and musty

 

I see how you led me to love you

That easy flattery your smiles

I fell headlong into your arms

Tripped by those practised wiles

 

If only it would rain today

And wash away my tears

Is that thunder that I hear

Cleansing as it nears?

 

Its pouring cats and dogs now

My head is washing  cleaner

Sheets of lightning reflect

 A mind harder and meaner

 

Anger immerses my thoughts

I'm getting over what you've done

Wallowing in recovery mode

Looking forward to the sun

 

Rain no more falls behind my eyes

Surprising how quickly pain dries

 

If only it would rain today

And wash away my tears

Is that thunder that I hear

Cleansing as it nears?
