Falling Rain

The falling rain
Of late October
Fills me with essential dread
 
As I rush about
And end up here
Wherever here is
 
The rain outside
Seems like the tears of god
 
As I sit
Crying over my beer
 
Thinking of lost love
And failed dreams
 
Wondering
What went wrong?
And what I can set right
 
And the rain falls
And the night darkens
 
The rain is falling
All over this man’s world
 
And the rain falls
And I sit
 
Drinking my lonesome drink
Lost in dreams
 
Dreaming of what
Could never be
 
Thinking dark thoughts
And so I sit
And dream the night away
