Acid Rain

In the night I hide,
shattered, broken of heart
my soul in anguish
I cannot see far.
Lost in an endless pain,
shaken in a torn mind
defeat spreads like acid rain
as I search the line-
where sky and earth meets
I grasp the tides
somewhere the death of dreams
come to be me.
I look through misery's eyes,
and gaze for the serene,
but only see the bitter lie
though I steady try-
to flee from all the pain
it spreads like acid rain
I face the distance of time,
and begin to sigh.
A sweet moonlit twilight
faded beauty inside
death of innocent times,
and simplicity of mind.
I breath in the cool air
smoke and tears
stain my window in the sharp night,
and there falls acid rain.
