in the silence of the night
i sit
and on the other line
a sob
i can see the rain
fall from your clouds blue as sky
drizzle down the paths of your cheeks
and land on your quivering lips
softly, yet swiftly
i can see them dissipate
and i watch them all over again

you, sitting alone
and on the other line
the innocent, it's me
dying from frustration
that's eating me alive
nothing i say
makes sense to you
but it's all perfect, believe me

once again, on the othe line
another sob, another storm
no sign of a rainbow yet and
"you ruined my life.
you're my biggest mistake"
echoing through your ears
