A shower of rain

Tears are a shower of rain to prove that love is here tears are a sign of pain to show the love sincere 

as I lie awake I try to sleep a soft moist tear rolls down my cheek 

I picture your eyes The beauty within the tears form a stream and drop for my chin

I'm trapped in a world of evil and sin 

a world where the weak are allowed to cry 

the feeling never leaves buts hidden inside 

I try to run I try to hide but it all comes back to drown me as if it were the tide 

The tide goes away the tears seem to fade 

I'm crying inside but the tears I must hide 

my eyes are like damns holding back all the water they open at night when your eyes are in sight 

for I know I don't fear you seeing my tears 

to some they show weakness to some they show pain to you they show love a gentle soft rain
