Before it Started to Rain



Before it started to rain
the earth was dry
and the air was heavy
I couldn't cry
and my heart was steady
Before it started to rain
the smell of fire all around
behind reasons and gain
and cleansing of the ground
the smoke burning my eyes
and the inside of my nose
made me think of all the lies
that always kept me close
away from who I could be
and who I really am
from a world I couldnt see
through the smoke
but now I can...
Before it started to rain
I had no sense of self
driving myself insane
trying to be someone else
praying for rain to come
and end all the fires
sitting here all alone
surrounded by liars.
Before the rain hit the ground
the wind was calm and still
and you could not hear a sound
I could even feel a chill
And the rain started to fall
everyone was in bed sleeping
and I felt like nothing at all
I just laid there weeping
But when the rain came
the earth soaked it up
but I remained the same
still with an empty cup.
