Yesterday's Rain Tripping and stumbling across the lawn Giggling, gets caught in dark branches Teasingly touching, caressing each leaf Engaging each one til it dances Carrying the scent of sweet jasmine and rose It follows a path all its own And plays with my hair as it passes my way While the seeds of remembrance are sewn The scents are what bring out the mem’ries in full And suddenly I’m not in my place Don’t feel the grass that I’m laying in now Nor the hair that is whipping my face I’m lost in the story of a scared little girl Who faced the world all on her own When no one noticed her dark bloodshot eyes She bore it all quietly alone The bruises fade like yesterday’s rain The words though, they stay in your head Until you’re an ancient old woman at ten Yet too scared to go sleep in your bed I’m back in myself, look back at the sky Bright now with billions of stars They bring no comfort, for all they resemble Just the cold diamonds they are It’s time to go in, the moment is over And think as I strengthen my guise Of the scared little girl, afraid of her world Who now looks out through my eyes |
