Tears fall down like acid rain on sun dried cheeks
No longer burning with passion
Once beautiful memories now are each
No more than a lost reaction
And as they fall these tears erode the last of my conviction
They blaze a trail along the road of my heart’s affliction
Discontent to pass me by from the sky it flows
(acid rain) Acid rain (acid rain)
It leaves me high and dry, and as I cry it deals its heavy blows
(acid rain) Acid rain (acid rain)
The space by my side used to be taken
But these days I keep no company
Since the day you left my life’s been vacant
Like my heart and soul – incomplete
And as I walk these steps erode the path of certainty
They blaze a trail along the road I wander aimlessly
Discontent to pass me by it just keeps pouring down
(acid rain) Acid rain (acid rain)
It leaves me high and dry, and as I cry it I feel like I could drown
(acid rain) Acid rain (acid rain)
Years pass by like stale air in the cold night breeze
No longer filled with emotion
It’s becoming so hard now even to breathe
Consumed by my own devotion
And as they fall these tears erode the last of my conviction
They blaze a trail along the road of my heart’s affliction
Discontent to pass me by time and time again
(acid rain) Acid rain (acid rain)
It leaves me high and dry, but still I try to move on from this pain
(acid rain) Acid rain (acid rain)

A painfully excellent expression of the pain, SabreLi. You really do know how to show emotions through your words. Nice work.
Thanks so much 😀 - I don't normally go for the repetition (except in format) but I like how this one turned out. I may try something similar again soon xx
Welcome!
Sadness in this writer. Yet a wonderfully expensive and powerful write
Thanks Tony! Yes this one has alot of sadness in it, sometimes abandonment leaves more sadness than bereavement through loss as there is rarely any closure xx

Powerful and also seductive as the reader is anxious for the next line.
Thank you! Pain always has us anxious for the next line; wishing for the pain to be over xx
I am very familiar with pain. Sending positive and uplifting thoughts.
Yes I too think it
sounds like a song
I love it, so bloody good.
Well done !!!!
Thanks so much! I am really happy that the tune somewhat shone through since I sometimes find it difficult to bring the rhythm into the writing. Made up with the feedback 😀 xx

Emotionally charged and powerful
