With Rain comes pain, despair, Solitude, yearning, peace, warmth, happiness and bond. Rain is life.

The radius of my love for you,
Like autumn leaves in hues so true,
Spreads wide and far, from heart to mind,
A malady of sweetest kind.

A cure I seek, but none is found,
My love for you knows no bound.
My heart beats fast, my breath grows deep,
When I am near, my love, I weep.

Oh, calm me down with some sedative,
Lest I become love's captive.
For thoughts of you consume my mind,
And leave no other thought behind.

But though my love may drive me mad,
I'd have it not, I'd not be glad,
To lose the feeling, sweet and pure,
That makes my heart for you endure.

So let me be, my love, my dear,
And let my love for you appear,
In every word and every deed,
A love that's sown and never freed

The weight of words hangs heavy on my tongue,
Like a stone around my neck, pulling me down.
I want to speak, but my voice is muted,
Held captive by the fear of judgment
I won't sustain in this environment
