She stands in the rain
That's how I see her now
Waving as she leaves
Salt tears lost to the storm
Its a fantasy
A dream that I hold
A fiction to forgive myself
In reality here I stand
No tears falling for me
No-one waves me away
It is true, she is gone
As they are all gone
She was just the last
Now my arms are empty
My tears the only ones that fall
and no storm to take them
I earn my final broken heart
I earn the perfect silence
With which I share my bed
This is my full stop
My sentence ends
My stories quaint savage tragedy
I bought my own pain
With each piece of myself
One at a time I surrender
I sit in the shadow
Watching the sun
just beyond my reach
And I wish for the rain
