Something Beautiful Again

As i stand starring into the pouring rain

I want to feel the cold, stinging drops on my skin

I long to feel something beautiful again

In the windows reflection I see myself

An illusion of the past comes back again

I can remember who I was before this prison life began

I can't stop the echoes of the laughter

then my hushed cries of anger

I am too cold and paralyzed to block out the memories that take over my thoughts

Where do I hide when I don't want to feel what my heart has not forgotten?

I created fantasies and held onto hope

as a child it was the only way for me to cope

For he played the music and my life danced away

Now I see all my empty dreams from my past years

and they cause me so many tears

The emotional destruction I fear

is too intense for tears

I long to feel something beautiful again!
