The rain falls.
And, as I sit here by my window
Within these four walls,
I begin to think of you.

That used to be me.
You were the only one I had ever loved.
But now, I can't understand for the life of me
How you could throw away that love.

The rain falls.
And, as I sit here by my window
Within these four walls,
I begin to think of you.
And the tears flow down my face.
How will I go on again
Knowing I'll never see your face?

The rain falls.
And, as I sit here by my window
Within these four walls,
I begin to think of you.
But my thoughts are taken away.
And the voice behind me becomes real.
And as the arms hold me again,
My tears and the rain now no longer
Fall for you.




 That which gives light must endure burning

It seems that the rain touched your heart forever..

Nice going!, I wish I could as good as you..

Thanks for the poem.

..........

There is no more turning back this way
The path is overgrwon and strewn with thorns
They've cast the lifeblood from your naked eyes
Cast aside to be forlorn..

Very nicely done.  I like the four walls that were depicted in the poem.  Just know that tears are full of sorrow but every single one of them is getting the pain out of you... little by little.
