The Cleanse

I sit alone with a heart weighted like stone

Hearing each individual drop of rain

Enveloped by darkness and all alone

No exit or no off ramp from this pain

The cold bites through flesh down to bone

Can I endure survive or will I go insane

Drops of rain like nails beat down

No refuge no comfort in this town

I saw you last two weeks ago

No sign of damage or regret

Your smile beamed your face aglow

Reminiscent of when we met

You said goodbye you let me go we went our seperate ways

Now I grit my teeth and compose myself just to make it through my days

Drops of rain like nails beat down

Each drop mocking this old clown

I know that I did my part to fail spectacularly

Don't go to far in excusing yourself and claiming innocence

Because each day you broke my down brought me to my knee

I thought I had it figured out thought it all made sense

That we had real love and would not fall because love goes eternally

Drops of rain like nails beat down

They cover me in a vail of wet like some evil ugly gown

The rain let's up its silent now I feel nothing I have no fear

The silence screams out in my head and heart no more will we be

I breath in deep stand up straight and dab away a tear

I may feel broken I may look bad but forget what you see

I will reinvent myself find my stride and make it very clear

Regardless of the battle scars I will be just fine because I still am me

Drops of rain wash away the pain and life will be just fine

Im free and independent now since you're no longer mine

Peace and joy I wish on you but you will never forget

You lost the best thing you ever had and will be haunted by regret
