I took a walk in the rain to drown my sorrows
Paused for a moment and closed my eyes
I rased my head to the clouds and let the rain pound my face
And as it ran steams down my face and over my neck I felt a lone drop caresses my lips
I slowly licked it off and saver the taste
The chill as it ran along the back of my hand and down my fingers
As I walked I felt the puddles seep up through my toes
The cool air set shivers up my spine
And like so many times before I felt lonely
A single memory petrified in my mind
a figure in front of a mirror adding eye liner
at that moment I knew the truth
my hands can barely hold the cigarette lodged between them
the smoke taste harsh on my throat yet fills the emptiness inside me
the cold feels more present than ever
the rain again beats on my face and then I stare at the muddy scenery around me
the street lamp glows in the distance causing flickers of light around me
the sky looks unforgiving and I know I wont be granted the relief I need tonight
so I turn around and flick the final glowing amber into the dirty
I open the door to the silence of my house and leave wet foot prints along the floor
And as I slip my jacket off I wipe the water off the shoulders
My feet feel cold on the wooden floor and I take a seat at my table
And return to my life
