I stood there waiting,
but you never came,
as the water dripped off,
from the pouring rain.
The tears they followed,
to the singing ground,
that filled my heart
with an empty sound.
And I cried out in anger,
don't leave me alone.
I can't bear the pain
of being on my own.
Why did you come to me,
if you knew you would leave.
These words echoed out
as I fell to my knees.
This place so familiar,
where I lose who I love.
And the sounds of misery,
that thunder above.
Pulling out the letter,
that you would never read.
Letting the ink run,
like you from me.
And there in my hands,
I tore it apart,
in much the same way,
you did with my heart.
