Freezing Rain
Freezing Rain

Why did you leave me
Standing in the rain
Waiting to be saved?
From the nightmare of no trust
Desperation and fear
I grew very cold.

Huddled in that cold
For you to rescue me
I wallowed in my fear
And soaked up all that rain.
Drowning in trust
That somehow I would be saved

But there was nowhere safe
From that internal cold
That grows from broken trust
And all the lies you told me.
Tears mingled with the rain
As I tried to hide my fear

But I remained afraid
Of never being saved.
Standing in that rain
Growing colder and colder
All that’s left of me
Is an unfounded trust

That my trust
Will not give way to fear
Of having me
Be the only thing I couldn’t save
From being so cold.
I could freeze the rain.

Standing in the rain
I regret my trust
And let cold
Replace fear.
It’s too late to save
What little is left of me.
