Whine Of The Rain

Forgive me if I sigh just a little to long in your memory
If I fall short, for just a second, of reality here
Last night I dreamed you were in the clouds to rescue me
And, a little life fell from the eyes of sincere...

Ever blessed to see true light once more
Oh, what a feeling to relive that breeze
Remembering was hard on the heart but easy to the eyes
Just holding the sweet hands of bitter sleep...

I just gasped at what so used to be
Died just a little for the angel once sent to me
Cried in the arms of the moon hanging overhead
Resembling the whine of the rain on forgotten's bed...

Forgive me if I drown in my very own sound
Thought I could handle any waters weighing down
I'm still the same woman just battered and bruised
Relying now on sleep to find a part of you...

Just praying hard enough not to open my eyes
Looking endlessly where maybe your heart might lie
I'm falling like the leaves drowning here in misery
Just as lonely as the whine of the rain could be...

Oh, I know hopeless and just how it feels
And, I know my midnight journey just wasn't real
Not a day goes by when I remember how you were gonna save me
Just wish I would have never recognized that familiar breeze...

Loved that verse, and your ending~

Poetess Saunni, this is a treasure~

I love (and hate!) this, so beautifully written, and boy-oh-boy did I not want to hear what it had to say.

Gal, you are sooooo growing in your pennings~

This is melancholy, word-painted just right~

Saunni - this is very sadly beautiful. I'm glad I stopped by to read it...

saunni-

this was heartbreaking. You always write
your heart so well. If you would like to
talk, drop me a line please.

take care.
