RAINING, POURING

storms
come and go
so they say
but these clouds won't dissipate

i've been lost
in the dark
in the fog
in the damp
of the rain pouring down

and i pause
let it soak
through my clothes

it's still raining, pouring down

this torrent of knives and they're
piercing me
slashing me
chopped in pieces

i've been told there's sunshine
where's it been in my life?
someone, please, come show me
a world that isn't cold

i've been told the sun shines
tell me, what's it feel like?
i've always prayed for clear skies
will i ever know?
