## By Satya Benson
|
||
|
||
Rain down
|
||
I’m shivering to the bone
|
||
Drenched, and standing alone
|
||
Rain down on me
|
||
Let it rain
|
||
My warmth will flow out from my blood
|
||
My consciousness will fade from my brain
|
||
The water and cold air will turn my flesh blue
|
||
And my shaking will stop
|
||
You will rain down on me
|
||
And the cold will burn me like a flame
|
||
The fires will rage and my skin will turn red and black
|
||
My breath will be shallow and filled with smoke and rainwater
|
||
My fingernails will crack
|
||
But I will feel no pain
|
||
Rain down
|
||
I’m shivering
|
||
|
||
--
|
||
|
||
Rain down
|
||
My heart is pounding in my ears
|
||
I’m drenched and standing alone
|
||
Rain down on me
|
||
Let it rain
|
||
I will open my mouth and taste the salty drops
|
||
My coursing blood will turn the water to steam
|
||
My consciousness will become invisible as I feel
|
||
Every pounding drop which lands on me and every pain and every tightening
|
||
And my shaking will stop
|
||
You will rain down on me
|
||
And your warmth will melt me like wax in a flame
|
||
The fires will rage and my skin will turn raw and red
|
||
My breath will be soft and fading away
|
||
My fingernails will bite my palms
|
||
And I will feel pain
|
||
Rain down
|
||
My heart is pounding |
