You shatter me 

your grip on me 

a hold on me

so dull it kills 

you stifle me 

infectious sense 

of hopelessness and 

prayers for rain 

i suffocate 

i breathe in dirt 

and nowhere shines

but desolate

and drab the hours all spent 

on killing time again 

all waiting for 

the rain



You fracture me 

your hands on me 

a touch so plain 

so stale it kills 

you strangle me 

entangle me 

in hopelessness and 

prayers for rain 

i deteriorate 

i live in dirt 

and nowhere glows 

but drearily and tired 

the hours all spent 

on killing time again 

all waiting for 

the rain
