Let the rain fall down
and awaken all my dreams.
Let it wash away all of my sanity.
It all started when
I saw your face.
Your voice made my
knees buckle as I fell
into darkness of sleep.
Let the rain fall down
and awaken all my dreams.
Let it wash away all of my sanity.
So now when you're gone
it makes me feel as though
I'm trapped in a dream
and can't wake
and can't escape
the darkess of sleep.
Let the rain fall down
and awaken all my dreams.
Let it wash away all of my sanity.
Now when I am stuck here
without a light
to brighten my path
as I walk in the dark
to find my heart.
Let the rain fall down
and awaken all my dreams.
Let it wash away all of my sanity.
When its all said and done
as everyone says
I won't know where to go.
You won't be here,
so nothing really matters anymore.
Let the rain fall down
and awaken my dreams.
Let it wash away all of my sanity.
Its my silent tourniquette
that keeps me spinning.
that keeps me alive.
So I will just keep repeating
it's my silent tourniquette.
Let the rain fall down
and awaken all my dreams.
Let it wash away all of my sanity.
it all started when
I saw your face.
So now when you're gone
it makes me feel as though
I'm trapped in a dream.
Now when I am stuck here
without a light
to brighten my path
as I walk in the dark.
When its all said and done
as everyone says
I won't know where to go.
You won't be here
so nothing really matters anymore.
It's my silent tourniquette
that keeps me spinning.
that keeps me alive.
Let the rain fall down...
Comment: Thank you very much! This is probably the longest poem I will ever write. I was thinking about all these different songs I liked, and some of the lyrics really called to me. I took their meanings, and I wrote them all in this poem. I was looking it over recently, and I though 'damn this is long! @_@' It took me a really long time to write it over and over.
Comment: Brook,
Your poetry just keeps on improving!
This one is hypnotic with its swirling repetitions and variations. The simple language you chose makes it all the more powerful.
