Walking in the rain
To Angela from Patrick Jane
Do you hear me calling softly while you’re walking in the rain?
Why is it you don’t answer me when I call out your name?
I try to catch up to you but you get away from me
The rain falls faster as I struggle hard to see
I make to run after you but I’m jostled by the crowd
So I draw in a deep breath and call your name out loud
As I round the corner you’re nowhere in sight
It’s as if you’ve been abducted by the demons of the night
Frantically I search for you but it is all in vain
As l look around at faces they are all the same
Hope fades within me and now there is no sound
In desperation I reach out to you and I tumble to the ground
As I wake trembling and sweating my throat burning, so dry
I realise it’s just another dream and I cannot help but cry
Why must I be haunted with these visions that I see?
And with the torture of you being taken away from me
(2013)
