And down came the rain
In sync with the tears on my cheeks
For my wisdom finally gave me the upper hand,
But the victory was bittersweet.

I moved into the shadows and placed the comedy actors’ mask
Over my drama face.

There was an ease… a sense of relief.
I was comfortably numb.
I was right beside you, but so far out of reach.
