Like summer rain,
My tears flow
Hot, fat drops
Down the planes of my cheeks
Trembling with the weight
Of my despair.

I have found
That it is not what it seems.
Nothing is or ever was
And never will be.
I walk down
This tightrope line
Trying to unearth
The truth in my desire
The pain in your eyes,
Reflections of my own.

Like a summer rain,
You're there
Then gone.
Unpredictable,
Frustratingly so.
Unreliable.
I wonder if
You were ever even there.

I wish there was someone
To find me in my darkness.
I want most of all
For that someone
To be you.

Like a summer rain
To extinguish the flames
Scorching my mind.
I need you there
To wash the tears from my eyes.
To break the fever
One more time.

There is no respite
From this disease.
You only make me numb.
I just want to feel again.
To live again.

Like a summer rain,
You're falling all around me
Drowning me in blue.
