Searching For Sunshine

Ain’t no sun up in my sky
today

Rain keeps falling on my
head

Got the blues so bad I’m
dancing with fire

in hellish nights with no
end

Promises and dreams not in
sight

No delight in life

a bout inside, an an
endless fight

in a world where nothing’s
right




No sun up in my sky, too
down to cry

waiting on motivation that
can't come

Dream daily

Lying awake waiting for my
lover to come on home

Frustration growing

waiting on lover makes me
quirky that way




Comes sneaking through the
bedroom 

door in the dead of night

Bed bathed in moonlight

Soft red hair brushes my
shoulder

Our promises of together
forever have grown older

Each day colder




As she lies down beside me

My eyes closed, pretend I’m
asleep

Awake to an empty bed

Gone, left

With words unsaid




Sadness never ends

Never thought we’d end that
way

Rain taps on windowpane

Listen in solitary solace

Left me on a rainy day




Called later, said she had to
go,

Had someone waiting on her

Someone easier to abide, 

Someone to turn the tides

Someone to resolve
dissatisfaction

Permeating our relations

Someone older, more mature




Someone sensitive who knew

how to make love

Someone who understood

Standing in the rain, alone





Clothes drenched through to
skin

Each day hope rain will go
away

tears blending with rain

sun’s gone away

rains refuse to abate
