Down With the Rain

i tried... like hell,
to help you change.

you were locked,
away inside yourself.

but maybe,
it was me,
who had to see.

i had...
to walk away,

put hate on the shelf,
save it for a rainy day.

i wasn't...
going to roll down
with the....
down pour anymore.

it wasn't mine.

i tried...
to show you,
how to love.

but...
bitterness wanted,
to stay instead.

what could i do,
i tried.

you begged,
me to stay,
but i couldn't,
go down,
with the rain.
