When I close my eyes I can hear the Rain

When I close my eyes I can hear the rain
I can see the tears running down your face
I feel your hands: so cold, you are in pain
I taste the bitter sweetness of your fate 
The broken words coming through shaken breaths
The screaming that can be heard like thunder
Is louder than the shock of sudden death 
For when you hurt my whole world goes under
But don't worry tears don't last forever
The pain goes away faster than you think 
So start over; set out on a new endeavor
Rewrite your misfortunes with better ink
And when the flood and thunder return 
Don't reject the warmth of a nearby lantern.
