The day was gloomy from the start Mirroring my empty broken heart
Tendrils of agony twisted and clawed Underneath the deep gray bitter fog
It seemed like it was only yesterday That everything was mere child's play
And as raindrops fell in sharp staccato rhythms Again I yearned for sounds of familiar drums
Only hearing tinted silence in a doleful refrain Shutting out the melancholy of incessant pain
Regret beset my mind in density of a copse Isolated within the twilight clatter of raindrops
