Falling rain, bouncing drops

 like ballerinas on the pavements

Lost words fight for amplification

in the torrent that follows

and I lose you

in the passing of the storm.

Days pass and sunlight kisses

all the footsteps trodden on the pavements

of departures long forgotten

passing through.

Last years leaves like the papers lay discarded

gently blowing like a relic

in the wind that breaks your heart

Lost letters, silent phones

memories of regret

intervening like a counsellor

in your moments of distress

lank hair and dulled eyed

you move from chemicals to talking

But im not sure you caught

the train I wanted you to catch

Weeds trangress like creepers

on the tracks of your misfourtune

strangling like ivy all the trapped thoughts in your mind

will it be the same tomoorow

will the candle light the darkness

will the torch that burns inside

make headway in the rain.

You dance your games of denial

knowing deep down all the truth

but instead of sunlit kisses

you just drown them with more pain

Falling rain like ballerinas

dancing on the pavements

washing all the traces

of the stranger you became.
