Light at Last

I'm listening to silent tears

hitting the window of my heart

The sky has opened up her doors

And it’s tearing me apart

I realize that I should cry

But tears don’t seem to fall

I realize that I should grieve

But my eyes still stay so dry

My hollow gaze falls to the floor

I see my shell lying there

I see it shattered

Seemingly beyond repair

This is why I love the rain

It’s the tears that never fell

It’s a thread that mends a broken heart

melting all my frozen pain

Every million drops is one

a whole storm can count as none

Thunder cracks across another broken heart

My eyes look up and wonder why

I'm listening to the deafening silence

of all the answers why

I hear the quiet

Again it makes me want to cry

I find another sorrow still fresh

preserved by the ice inside

at last I’m healing after so long

Letting go, letting the rain drops fall

A drop falls from my eye

It’s been to long

A reliving heat within

Warms my beating heart

I’m alive again..........
