Acid Rain
My teardrops are like acid rain
When they fall, my heart's in pain
They burn their way into my soul
Corroding that which makes me whole
They rust my heart and slow its beat
Their only goal is swift defeat
It hurts me now, but I know soon
These acid tears will be a boon
I know that it will take a while
For my tears to dry, my heart to smile
Because these teardrops are like acid rain
So surely they will come again.
