Pitter Patter

Pitter Patter goes the rain
As I continued my walk back home
Umbrella up
Shoes in the mud
My rhythmic footsteps reflecting the melancholic skies
And the melancholic skies conversing gently
With my muddled mind
Taking me back to the days I ran freely
Under a bright red sky
I close my eyes and try to imagine
The clear blue sky behind the lonely clouds
But the void I'm met with is filled with nothing but
A reminder of my expired fear of the dark
And pitter patter went the rain

Pitter patter goes the rain
Reminding me of the simpler days
We set our hearts to touch the sky
Running through the field where the summer cicadas cried
Until we caught them with dirt-stained hands and a grimy smile
and mum and dad yelled at us to come back home
We walked down the familiar road
With a heart that we swore would never grow old
Until now where
All I hear is the rhythmic pattern of the droplets splash
The sky a sullen gray
And pitter pattern went the rain.

Pitter Patter goes the rain
Tell me O tell me the way this world works
If there’s no clockwork behind these shifting skies
And no tides that slowly eased me apart
From the childhood that was gone like a dream
And I suppose I was always terrified of growing up.
Sitting before TVs listening to the news.
Growing up,
Getting a job
where I spent countless hours in front of countless screens,
Moved away,
Lulled away
Into the bitter reality where everyone is gone and scattered
somewhere within the broken remnants of a childhood dream.
And pitter patter went the rain.

Pitter patter, there goes the rain
The sky has slowly begun to clear
With my head bowed down I stopped my steps
My umbrella by my side.
When I look up I’m met
With that familiar bright red sky

And pitter patter, went a different type of rain.

Chalkboard Art

A single line
That etches from the blackboard
Completed the picture I had meant to draw
A single field
Under a starry night
In the Classroom where I used to be
A girl with arms wide open
Eyes wide open
Heart wide open
She's still here so I beg you not to go
I look at the empty chairs
In the classroom where I used to be
The sky outside is muddled with smoke
From a city that shuts me out
The stars have yet to find a place to shine
But to me that's alright.
Because the day they return
Will come the return of the girl who dreamed
So please keep shining
And please keep dreaming.
Especially if you're smiling
And even if you're crying
Because I'm right here, that girl who dreamed
In the empty classroom where I used to be
So please keep dreaming
Especially if you're smiling
And even if you're crying
And someday will come the return
Of the girl I was meant to be.

The phone I've left by my side stays silent
No one replied
And while I lay in the bed of my alone
The thoughts go violent
And I beg for someone to
Reply
Alone with my thoughts is a dark, dark place
with no distractions from where I stand
This world remains a lonely, lonely haze
smiling at me, a familiar face
and yet nobody has replied.
Alone in my room I'm getting sleepy
As I dare not close my eyes
For if I do the void would surely take me
into the dreams I've long denied
And so the clockwork keeps me company since
Someone has yet to reply
Saddened by the ignorance to reality
when all I've done was dream
and wish to dream
and hate to dream
Torn somewhere between hope and reality
It's the small things that don't come true.
Even if I close my eyes
nobody will
