rainchylde

we are
everything, and nothing.

call out
and you'll hear the echoes

of a past
concealed by the present

all alone
you're lost in an empty place

we're not
what you really ever wanted

we fail
to be what you really need

fall down
try to find us in the dust

we've gone
to fragile memories of men

now recall
the times of happiness then

to contrast
against times of confusion now

be honest
tear away the delusions and lies

never again
hide memories in a false facade

believe now
we never forgot you, but you us

that simple
is that you grew up and left

safe now
in your memory as a concept

send it up
to believe in innocence lost

loving rain
falling from skies of dull grey

upon you
covering with water to succour.
