Here behind rain-splattered glass
I sit in the embrace of the past
In puddles, memories of those days
Glisten and dance beneath the golden rays
Of the sun peeping out from behind the clouds
Which cast shadows over the sodden ground
The chill in the air reminds of the cold
Of walking life’s winding road alone
Those days now have long since gone
Yet forever will the memories live on
Locked inside the casket of my core
The lonely tears will fall no more
But yet I can never erase the scars
That loneliness engraved upon my heart
When you cry each day you see
Fear of the dark begin to breed
And more desperately you seek the light
To banish the demons from your night
Yet hope is never lost for long
You can be cleansed of your wrongs
The rain which falls from darkest of skies
Washes away sins you hold inside
Then as you venture into the unknown
You’ll no longer stand alone
