Rain down, come

Rain down, your misery

Pour down, come

Pour down, your sorrow

From the greatest height

To the greatest depths

Bleed out, come

Bleed out, your pain

Drain out, come

Drain out, your suffering

From the greatest heights

To the greatest depths

-

one for love, two for sorrow

It will get better, better tomorrow

Thanks for reading!

Author's Notes: This is in part inspired by two of my favourite songs from the 90s - Only Happy When It Rains by Garbage and Paranoid Android by Radiohead.

Along with a recent favourite One For Sorrow by Insomnium:

Hope you liked it. It's a little on the sad side. I am not sad now, but was when I was writing it.
