Just Listen.

“Just Listen.”

Listen softly to the pitter-patter of the rain,
on this muggy, hot night.
The thought of you leaving, gives me pain.

This move is inhumane.
I feel this is wrong and your plane leaves at twilight.
Listen softly to the pitter-patter of the rain.

Crying left my face tearstain.
The thought of being alone gives me fright.
The thought of you leaving, gives me pain.

Since the breaking news, each breath I take I feel as though I have been run over by a train.
I don’t know if I will ever be fully alright.
Listen softly to the pitter-patter of the rain.

The actions that followed fear were desperate and bordering insane.
Your sister’s face will forever haunt me; her silhouette frightfully pale and white.
The thought of you leaving, gives me pain.

Until now I was never able to explain.
Nicki, your face once shone with sunshine, now it is as dark as night.
Listen softly to the pitter-patter of the rain.
The thought of you leaving, gives me pain.
