Street Light
Rain poured again tonight
As I leaned against a street light
Eyes fixated on it, so yellow, so dim
Barley illuminating my skin
A sad barely lit existence
For me and you isn’t it
Sitting in rain, no umbrella
Drenched next to this rusting fella
Whose existence begins to flicker
Trying, but its light fades dimmer
I couldn’t help but think of my life
Holding back the tears I close my eyes
Open them to a dead light
Darkness and pouring skies
Like my heart, like my eyes
Poor light, no one will come to fix it
We just stand in broken existence
As I leaned against a street light
Eyes fixated on it, so yellow, so dim
Barley illuminating my skin
A sad barely lit existence
For me and you isn’t it
Sitting in rain, no umbrella
Drenched next to this rusting fella
Whose existence begins to flicker
Trying, but its light fades dimmer
I couldn’t help but think of my life
Holding back the tears I close my eyes
Open them to a dead light
Darkness and pouring skies
Like my heart, like my eyes
Poor light, no one will come to fix it
We just stand in broken existence
