Umbrella

Before I even realized the rain gathered around my feet
and the tears that I kept from falling are pooling in my eyes
I cry

Sounds of the clock in an barren room
The noise of the rain on the roof and my lips
Inside the pocket of the coat I rarely wear
is the ring along with the overwhelming memory
I haven't seen Toronto in a few months

The gathered rain are like little mirrors
I struggle within them because of the pain
Because without you I'm a chair with a short leg
The umbrella was too small for the both of us
but the umbrella shielded us from the cold world
now it seems much too big and awkward.

Your left shoulder always got so wet
I hang my head with the weight of the memories
My shoelaces are untied, undone
and all thats next to me is the rain and wind
(not there) is a person that will hold my umbrella for a while
and I cry

The ground has gathered the tears of the sky
I can see the moon behind the clouds that block the stars
The sound of lonely shoes echo down the alley
I turn around-
It's just heart wrenching night
A shadow that looks just like me
The two of us that couldn't see "us"
Are we now two people?
The answer is so lonely
The picture in my mind and my response is vague
The umbrella was too big in my eyes
The umbrella I will close facing the world that made
me cry
The umbrella that I opened with the promise of
forever
Under the ripped umbrella are the two hearts
I guess even though I turn around you wont be there
I put my two hands deep inside my pockets
Even though I walk as if carefree
My two cheeks will become wet so easily
