dribble, dribble
tap tap tap
on the window panes
the dark cloudy sky
fill my veins
with vapor from a hot cup of coffee
soaring up to my face
filling my nose
letting tears flow from my face
I whisper so gently
as none could hear
what I was about to say
with pride no longer in the way
with gritted teeth
and humble shame
I cry for you
I call out your name
I long for you
and things to be the same ...
