One cannot tell my tears apart from rain The dark clouds hide my pale and sunken cheeks And the silence in the air brings me pain For I think of the long days, months, and weeks Where I wished I could have been with him The dreary, bleak light leaves my eyes searching I walk through the puddles praying a hymn Muttering foreign phrases, and purging My soul of all my mistakes and regrets The damp wind hits my face bringing comfort Like worms I struggle through mud in distress The sound of raindrops puts all to slumber The air is still and all my worries cease When rain falls my soul tries to be at peace
