Every rainbow adorning the sky-
every second ticking by and by,
repeatedly asks one question of me-
why mustn't I let my heart bleed
if some part of my soul can so be freed?
Why mustn't I just get off this train,
and free myself from intermittent pain?
In all the uncertainty that life spells,
it's the tears whose constancy excels.
A million words that I couldn't speak,
still make me feel so bleak.
dark is the night, and dark is the sun,
all goes wrong and the insides burn.
A drop of tear can cool it all,
only if I could let it fall.
But how can I allow it to touch my eyes?
when scalded are they from previous tries.
All for the coldness I was dealt,
how can I let the iceberg melt?
Waiting for the sun to rise,
praying to the heavenly skies.
Some warmth could feed my frozen soul,
some tenderness to fill the gaping hole.
Gaps born of lost hope and a broken life,
that bring no peace, just pure strife.
