When It Rains

Impatient when it comes to love

Craving everything it offers

Joy, happiness, friendship

Elements that seem to be lacking

Within this life inhabited

Like a turtle without his shell

Without love I have no protection

No refuge to cover me

From this downpour

Soaked in desolation

Drowned in hopelessness

Dryness unfounded

Hypothermia sets in

Ravaging my body

Colder and colder I grow

Beating of the heart

Slower and slower

Breathing now labored

Only cure for this

Your heart

And its warmth
