I watched you there
I watch you cry your eyes out
Now tell me what you've done.
I feel so helpless
The way you dry your eyes out
The way your tears roll down.

You could flood the whole world
With your colored rain drops.
You could flood the whole world
And I couldn't do anything...
I am the crowd.

I watched you there
I watched you in your shadows
Although you didn't even know.
You told it all to me
The way you splashed everything
At the beginning of the show.

You could drown the whole world
With your colored rain drops.
You could drown the whole world
And I couldn't do anything...
I am the crowd.

I watched you there
I watched you in the rain
I thought I saw you smile.
Was it so easy
To talk and be pleased
To know it was all worthwhile?

I clapped when you came
I whistled when you bowed
Is that even enough
To be part of the crowd?

I watched you in silence
As a single rose fell
Onto the stage
As you waved farewell...
Will I ever watch you again
Will I ever meet you face to face
Will I ever hold you in pain
And say...
Let it rain.

Wow, this was really powerful. The emotion within this poem is amazing. Well done! Very well done.....and the last few lines..wowish.
I liked this one by  you.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

Now this is a cool piece. A very good display of pure, heartfelt emotions.
I was completely glued to the screen the entire way through.

Wonderful.

Thanks very much for your comments.  
I'm actually trying to make this a song, so if there's any change you would make to it so that it would flow a tad better, please let me know. Thanks.

I think this would work really really well as a song!  
I read this through once or twice, I really liked the flow to it.  The title is great, but as a song it seems like the title should just be "the audience" or "rain."
JMHO    Great work.
