raining in my soul

sometime when its raining in my soul

i shut the door on love

and the heavens above sigh for me

understanding all the breaking

from before

cleverly hidden beneath

anger and defences

and as you know

it may take a lifetime

to take down all the barriers and fences

I erected after years of pain

to keep my soul safe

and it may be hard right now

for me to feel the breaking

but what would ache more

would be to forsake

myself

if you failed to understand

how important it is for you to stand

strong in the face of these storms

as I close the door

to keep my soul safe

from the rain

seeking the only shelter I can

from the aching and the pain
