Pray For Rain

They say that you're leaving,
Is it me?
Was it something I said?
That's what I was afraid of.
Were you scared to hear the words I was too afraid to say?

They say that you're leaving me
Here to fend for myself
Trying hard to be brave enough,
But who's left to protect me from myself?

You used to tell me I was your muse
But you've gone and left me here, all confused.

They say that you're leaving,
You're afraid of the dark hidden space in my heart
Of secrets, unspoken til now.

Remnants of a life spent together
Silent witnesses, called to witness to
Memories of love
Fragments shattered and embedded in my flesh
Burning embers of lust
Spark a bush-fire blasing out of control
Undermining trust
Smoked out I lie shivering, you lie smouldering
Pray for rain.
