Rain began falling from a pale gray sky
A chilly wind blew the bare branches to and frow
It seemed even in the heavens there was despair
Not half as much as in my soul
I've had to say goodbye too many times
This heart is scarred by death and fear
Will today bring yet another scar?
The eerie silence filling the house
Tells me something just isn't right
Friends say it's probably nothing
They weren't there to hear the panicked begging
Desprately trying to help you hold on
They did not see the tears cascading down my cheeks
As you slipped slowly into a drunken haze
For so long you have been the one
To fill me with hope, happiness and security
It'll be ok i'll never leave you
Remember that?
I do
So as the rain falls innocently
Upon the branches of the trees
Tears begin to fall once more
Pleas filled with fear are screamed at the sky
Lord please don't take him
He doesn't really want to die!
Feeling helpless and empty
Soon the begging stops
Nothing can be done
Today his life on this earth will end
Each time i've had to say goodbye
Innocent raindrops fell from the sky
Almost as if they were apologetic tears
I can almost hear someone say
It was just their time- I'm sorry
I guess innocent little raindrops
Aren't so innocent after all...

WOW!!! Thank you for sharing this one & I think it is awesome that you can put such raw feeelings & emotions into words.
