Your rain

Melissa Williamson


Dancing alone again 
again the rain falling
only the scent of you remains 
to dance with me

Nobody showed me how to return the love you give to me
mom never holds me dad loves a stranger more than me

I never wanted to ever bring you down
all that I need are some simple loving words

You touched my body once 
it burns me still softly
never forgets never again will be
I cry

Out of my head and I don't know what I found
over and over I feel it break me down

On the sidewalk of the city 
are my screams just a whisper
busy people going nowhere 
see me soak in the rain
no compassion nothing matters 
my resistance is waiting
like a flower in the basement 
waiting for a lonely death

Out of my head and I don't know what I found
over and over I feel it break me down

On the sidewalk of the city 
are my screams just a whisper
busy people going nowhere 
see me soak in the rain
no compassion nothing matters 
my resistance is waiting
like a flower in the basement 
waiting for a lonely death
