• listen to the rain
    let it envelope you
    and sink
    drown
    hear the voices
    and feel
    with every drop
    as you soak
    how it possesses you

    your eyes
    they rest, blind
    let them rain
    your black tears
    let them pour
    take you over
    as the voices
    they pierce you

    my end
    your beginning
    we stretch, we reach
    four our untouchable goals
    just to find that we fall
    like our tears
    blackened with rage
    and the screaming voice, piercing
    you lie deaf to its plead

    consumed by shadows
    you see them dwell
    but your eyes
    pure and fragile
    they don't understand
    though they try
    but that pain is beyond your grasp
    you don't hear
    the piercing voices

    when the darkness consumes you
    when you're raped
    beaten
    when the world's strength refuses you
    when you've lost all protection
    and the warmth and love
    abandons you in your black tears
    only then,
    when you understand the voices.
