Rain

 The rain of hatred and contempt
Drains, yet feeds every soul
The waves moving rapidly in a descent
Versus us humans as we crawl
The darkness surrounding us, internalised
The irrational negativity, rationalised
The absurd villainy, personified
For how else are we to comprehend
That every second of every day, someone meets their end
Standing alone under the rainy sky
With my hand on my soul, in a motion to rend
Break free from the energy that subsides
That which I believe to be
Truly me
He, who inside me resides
Yearning one day to be set free
And I refuse to let him go
And he really doesn't wish to stay
But it's only he who knows
How to comfort me when I am afriad
And it is only me who knows
How to keep his thoughts straight
Alone we're nothing, together we're great
Yet alone we're in comfort, and together we're confused
A paradox personified, the question of youth
Alone yet together, apart yet one piece
Atoning forever, far and yet near
Two pieces of a soul, splintered
Sphincters of how we feel
Each other's emotional anchors
Each other's greatest fears
For loss plagued one of us
Captivity plagues the other
Together we are one
But alone
We are each other
