I've got the rain, on my side. <br />Its autumn, and there's no place left to hide. <br />I know it's been days since I've heard your voice. <br />The whispers are all I have left. <br />I know if I had a choice, <br />there'd be no second guess. <br />I've been working with my play on words, <br />but when you speak yours, they just hurt. <br /> <br />The nights, pull me away, <br />So I can't remember the day, <br />and how it all fell apart. <br />So much for staying awake. <br />So much for seizing the day, <br />when everything falls apart. <br /> <br />And when the rain, is not on my side, <br />you give me life, you give light, <br />Because you are the sun, you are the one. <br />And with these whispers you left for me, <br />none are as good as the real thing. <br /> <br />The nights put me to sleep, <br />and you're in every dream, <br />because you can't leave, my heart. <br />So much for staying awake. <br />So much for seizing the day, <br />since it all fell apart. <br /> <br />(I want to hate you, but I can't. <br />When I try to forget you, <br />and then I see your face, <br />its like falling in love, <br />over and over again. <br />I want to seize the day, <br />I want you to see it my way.) <br /> <br />It's been pouring so much lately, <br />the rain is against me. <br />Where'd my life go, where'd my light go? <br />You took it with you, didn't you? <br />The days aren't getting anywhere, <br />Because I'm stuck on you.<br /><br />Jayson Howard<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/playing-in-the-rain/
