i watch you slowly walk away

from my life, as i permitted

reaching out a hand

without you knowing

heavy rain falls from the sky

as if the heaven knows

that's what I needed

to mask the river of tears

streaming down unheeded

i hear thunder and lightning

like the sound of my heart

breaking into thin parts

how could I let go of

someone who was there

with me from the start

though, now it didn't matter

'cause you chose to let

everything fall apart

i fell on my knees

begged for time to stop

truly, a futile plea

like how i asked you to stay

when you wanted to be free

i know life goes on

even if i want it gone

so i only wish for time

to tick fast until

i see the light of dawn

when the sun rises

to heal all the bruises and

kindle broken promises

we made when all we

felt was happiness.
