The Rain in my Brain

The minutes rolled on, the clock ticked away
Raindrops condensed over my window pane
I battled eternally to keep Sadness at bay,
It was always raining in my aching brain.

To martyr your happiness for others, I thought,
Should make it all worthwhile; a good cause.
Little it did to remove my bothers. Distraught,
I longed for a deep, eternal pause.

And then, one night, the rains just stopped,
Was it you, shielding me from the drops so cold?
I saw just a silhouette, my vision was blocked,
Engulfing happiness, as tears from my eyes, rolled.

At last, there was peace, flowers would bloom,
Birds would sing, the Sun rise again.
In a place once ruled by Sadness and Gloom,
Happiness would fill and no Sorrow remain.

And now, the foolish heart dares to dream,
That bliss is more than a word: a truth,
That all this isn't just a cruel scheme,
That it was all planned, it is all sooth.

Only Time will tell what Future holds,
Reflection will cause nothing but worry.
We'll see how this grand, lofty saga unfolds,
Let's not ponder about a future so blurry.

Sometimes, words can't express feelings,
At other times, they aren't even needed.
To hell with words then, and twisted meanings,
Just know that in you, all my prayers were heeded.

Here, take my hand, let's walk this road,
I know not where it leads but I'm content,
We'll be together if it rained or snowed,
Our sweet little heaven-ward ascent.

The minutes will stop and the moments will stay,
The raindrops fade from my window pane,
No longer does Sadness upon me weigh,
Let it never rain again in my brain…
