Your Rain

On the sidewalk of the city

Are my screams just a whisper?

Busy people going nowhere

See me soak in the rain

No compassion, nothing matters

My resistence is waning

Like a flower in the basement waiting for a lonely death

I never wanted to ever bring you down,

All that I need

Are some simple loving words.

You touched my body once,

It burns me still softly.

Nobody showed me how to return

The love you give to me.

Mom never hugged me,

Dad loves a stranger more than me.
