The tears in my eyes fall
Like raindrops on concrete
In the middle of a thunderstorm
On a muggy summer's day
To make myself feel better
I imagine I'm out there
Becoming drenched in the rain
To be able to feel again

The tears in my eyes fell
In the second week of August
I was up until 4
There was a bad thunderstorm
I almost went outside
To lay in the field across the street
In the pouring rain, amid the thunder
That I would be refreshed
That would be reborn
But also wishing
The lightning would strike
And end the pain
I put you through
I remember looking out my bedroom window, sitting cross-legged at the edge of my bed as the rain roared and splashed against the glass in the heavy wind.
The lightning struck second after second and I wondered if maybe it could become your way out from me. That maybe a natural death would make it easier for you. Tears fell down my face and I prayed for the wisdom as I vowed to fix what I'd done.
