The cooling touch of the rain
Cleanses my body
Of the sin
And my regrets that haunt me
Tears falling from the darkened sky
Mingles with the ones falling from my eyes
Easing the pain that constricts my heart
Leaving my soul moaning in bliss
My problems are washed away
Soaked into the ground
Being filtered and cleansed
Like my body, mind, and soul
My heart is beating rapidly
Enjoying the healing touch
The slight buzz of happiness
The rain creates
I look up to the Heavens
Opening my arms embracing
This Baptism from the Holy sky
Savoring this feeling of pureness
The tears slow to a trickle
Falling on me like a reassuring hug
Then it leaves making me feel
Empty and alone
Soaked to the bones
The real world comes back
Leaving me cold and shivering
My soul aching tears stop falling
The cold facade reappears
My regrets darken my soul
My problematic life continues
Loneliness weighs at my heart
I whisper softly
Wiping the last tears from my face
"Purity and happiness
Only occur in my dreams,
The cleansing tears
Only happens when it rains"

This is really good . + extremely true. Especially considering i just fucking found all this shitt out and all these lies that a someone has been feeding me and it's just sickening that a person could do that to another human being. and your right, the only purity is in our dreams, and the only cleansing happens when it rains. Why? Because guys are fucking stupid and just like you said "Tears falling from the darkened sky
Mingles with the ones falling from my eyes" + even nomatter how much we go out of our way, they'll never thank us or be true to us because they don't even know how to be true to themselves. they want everything they can't have, but they dont want to loose everything they do have. But when urges arise they go for everything they can't have, and loose the things they did. but when they love them that much the girl will wait in hopes the guy is thinking of her, like that negates all the shit hes done, but in the end, the trajedy lives, because guys change they're personality but never their true selves, and they just become more and more of a whore. I hope he realizes what hes lost.
Your definitely right about everything. You always have been. My life + this poem alike.
