I let the rain pour today

I let the rain pour today…

Though crevices of my heart

And the cracks in my shield;

I let the rain pour today

And wash away the layers.

I stood still when lightning struck,

I stood still as it poured,

I soaked every drop that fell,

I stood still as thunder roared.

I let the rain tangle my hair,

And free it from its glossy form;

I let the wind through its maze,

And be unleashed in the storm.

I let my thoughts drift to you…

To memories only I’ll ever know;

I didn’t stop the tear that dropped,

I couldn’t hide the iridescent glow.

I let the rain pour today,

Let it pour in all its might;

I let my heart be drenched

Hoping it would heal just a slight…
