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
