7mm Confessions

That night we ran
To a house nearby
Wet and cold we tried
Why must it rain tonight?

we slipped inside
in this still old house
Silent tales etched its walls
Should it add something tonight?

Don’t be scared with creaking stairs
As long as there is rain
No one should hear us
Why must it rain tonight?

Like ghosts we floated to a room
Not quite knowing why
Not quite knowing how
Why must this heart beat so wild?

With your glossy skin
Like 10 million pinlights
You lit up this room so bright
Why must you glow in the dark?

And in that room
While the rain pelted the roof
The wind howled on and on
Is there an end to this rain?

A leak through the roof
Made its way through your forehead
Through it I thought I saw stars
Did I miss the tears?

The rain is gone
We rose like mushrooms
Bid farewell to this still old house
Oh why did it rain tonight?
