WAITING FOR RAIN

Can I no longer open the door
In your eyes?
Is my reflection helpless to awaken
a smile?
The outsider
Beside her.
Will you no longer look past the walls
In your mind?
Just out of reach lay all of your joys
And sleep all of mine,
Not knowing,
It's showing.
We watch at the window,
Waiting for rain.

Have all the years brought nothing but age
To our lives?
Captured like sunset colors in dreams
Left behind.
All the aching
We're making.
Gone is the sunshine,
Waiting for rain.
