The Black Rains

 

 

Underneath the shade of misconception

words that don't mean a thing

weigh heaviest on broken wings

 

silence sings and emptiness rings

words curl up and drift away

their meaning lost when no one stays

 

wounds never heal, insecurities bleed

in the dark, the black rains come

seeking redemption, then drowning the need

beneath the stains of time, the feelings disappear.
