Original Submission by Filiah Kahar

Piano in the rain

When I close my eyes

You're all I see

In the air I breathe

You're the only one for me

Like the piano in the rain

You drive me insane

All I can think about is the pain

Slowly going down the drain

My own personal brand of heroin

Yet you never let me in

You're nowhere to be found

Something that's never sound

Alas it comes down to this

I’m only trying to find peace

My mind, it’s too noisy

So as always I try to keep busy

Am I drowning or surviving

You only want to see me thriving

But if you aren't with me

How will I ever be free
