I had a dream that
Everything was drowned in tears
All sounds were silenced
And the rain fell with a thud—
Shards of broken memories.
A lone snail was caught
Amid the torrent of tears
Not for a moment
Did it let go of its freight
I let it carry my weight.
My world is fading
Melting in desolate tears
And I can't stop it.
Woes do come as raging floods
But who'll be there to save me?
