Prayers for Rain

you shatter me
your grip on me
a hold on me so dull it kills
you stifle me
infectious sense
of hopelessness
and prayers for rain

i suffocate
i breathe in dirt
and nowhere shines but desolate and drab
the hours all spent on killing time again
all waiting for the rain

you fracture me
your hands on me
a touch so plain so stale it kills
you strangle me
entangle me
in hopelessness
and prayers for rain

i deteriorate
i live in dirt
and nowhere glows but drearily and tired
the hours all spent on killing time again
all waiting for the rain

you fracture me
your hands on me
a touch so plain so stale it kills
you strangle me
entangle me
in hopelessness
and prayers for rain

prayers for rain
prayers for rain
prayers for rain

prayers for rain
