Close your eyes,
Tilt your head towards the sky.
Let each drop of rain gently caress your face,
Soft to the touch,
Cool to the senses.
Let nothing but the wind be what you hear,
Close off all your senses but your ears.
Become only one with sound,
The pitter patter of the rain,
Each splash will keep you sane.
Just close your eyes,
And drown out the world.

You send shivers down my spine when you walk in,
Cause the butterflies to flutter like mad.
When you look in my eyes,
You burn right through me.
You are the sunshine when my skies are clouded,
The light when I can't find the good in the world.
I could be all that you need,
You are all that I want.
My stomach knots when you are next to me,
You make me nervous and giddy.
I smile at the thought of you,
Quake in your presence.
You have all control over me,
And you don't even know it.

On stormy days I think back,
To the time where she was with me.
She would dance,
She would sing.
She was gorgeous,
Like the rain.
A beautiful storm in her own right,
Nature's finest creation.
I was just the stepping stone,
I was her drizzle.
I opened the stage for her to amaze,
To release her storm on the world.
If I am drizzle,
She is a hurricane.

Let me carry your banner again,
Be the knight who will give you everything.
Shed every ounce of blood,
For the glory of you.
Raise you up on the marble pedestal of love,
All for you to be happy.
Flying your colors,
Waving your banner as I ride off to fight.
Hoping to return victorious to you again,
Even if only a kiss is my reward.

I want to tell you my darkest secrets,
Trust you,
Hold you tight.
I want to be the one there for you,
Always,
Keep you warm at night.
I can be your superman,
Protect you,
Stand up for you in a fight.
All these things I'd do for you,
I'll be faithful,
I'll be true.
I will provide you with what you need,
Love and Hope,
Just be with me.

I bottle up my rage,
Hold it tight inside of me.
To release it would be dangerous,
To show it could be deadly.
Red hot anger that rivals that of Hell,
Anger that could rock the world at its core.
To keep my self calm is a feat of strength,
To force a smile is what I need to do.
I will never unleash the beast inside of me,
But to turn and run towards serenity and peace.

I bow my head,
And fall to my knees.
Head hangs in shame,
I've hidden my true self from you.
Battered and tattered,
Cut and gashed.
Lost the battle,
Retreated from the war.
Internal battle with myself,
External war of shyness.
I'm not as strong as I thought,
Only to hide in myself once again.
