Raindrops wash away my pride

Left with shadows nowhere to hide

Thunder rumbled stole my guide

Caught in memories deep inside

Blues after the storm they play

On these broken strings I sway

Every tear a note to say

Melancholy won’t delay

Lightning flashed and lit the scars

Darkened clouds veiled the stars

Empty bottles next to bars

Dreams abandoned cars on Mars

Blues after the storm they play

On these broken strings I sway

Every tear a note to say

Melancholy won’t delay

Hope’s a distant whispered call

Echoes faint yet standing tall

When the rain begins to fall

Love's a riddle none can stall

Puddles form and tales unfold

Stories told in whispers cold

Hearts and souls entwined in gold

Under skies so brave yet bold
