Let the rain wash it away

Dark clouds cover the sky
Letting the rain pour down
And there I am
Standing in a parking lot
Empty and alone
I scream at the top of my lungs
I can't tell i if the water on my face
Is from my tears
Or the rain
I let out all my pain
My voice is hoarse
Now becoming a mimicked whisper of itself
It's own echo
Mocking me inside my head
Guilt and pain is consuming my body
And running through my veins
It lives in me
Repeating awful lies of the truth
I close my eyes and cover my ears
Trying to drown out the voices
Plaguing and taunting me
I win for a sinful moment
But am dragged back down
Through he weight of my tears
Across the empty parking lot
I can see a mirror image of myself
But I'm smiling
Talking to someone so far away
I see myself turned, still smiling
Slowly walking toward
This image that I see
I reach out my hand
Before I can get close enough you appear
Now I realize why I smile
As you great me with a kiss
I remember that it used to be real
Now realization cuts through my memories
And chokes me on my tears
The image of myself vanishes
Left with a shadow
In the background of the darkness
As it lives strong in my memory
Falling to my knees
It suddenly hurts to breathe
My eyes are bloodshot and red
Promises are broken
So simply left behind
But I can't let you go
You found something new to live for
A reason for you to smile
I can still see you walk away from me
I broke my own heart that day
I took it all for granted
I gave it up for something that meant nothing
And I lost everything
Now laying on the ground
Blanketed by the rain, blood, and tears
Reminding me
Sleepily I close my eyes
Still crying out in pain
I fall asleep
And let the rain wash away
Everything that hurts me so...
