Work Text:
The rain fell down upon my face
It's raining out
I take a breath, cold and bracing
Step outside, look about
My eyes find it hard to see
Through the falling rain
It's cold, cold, I'm not filled with glee
And there's this feeling inside, this pain
It quickens my step a little
Shoes, pounding upon muddy paths
Renders the shivery cold less brittle
Thinking of so many broken hearts
I'm gonna go there now
To your doorstep, to your cold eyes, folded arms
But I won't bow
I won't search your face for the old charms
I'll speak my piece
Make my peace
It's over but I still feel for you
Wish you'd feel something for me, too
But as it is, you feel precious little for me, for the once-was us
For those dreams we once shared so eagerly
I'll state my case, explain my reason for this intrusion; I'll not put a up a big fuss
You'll meet my gaze, meagerly
And I'll know, at last, that it's over
Over, ever after
No more will we walk, hand in hand, to lay down in clover
No more will we talk for hours in laughter
We're through
I'm free
No longer blue
But just me
Now I'm new again
My eyes can see again
My heart bearts alone and waits
For some other love forecast by those tempestuous Fates
My walk goes a little lighter
A little more sprightly
Coming down your steps
A smile forms on my lips
And, oh look, the rain's finally let up
Beautiful day looking down at me
Blue sky says to me, "Cheer up!"
I whisper back, smiling at those scuttling clouds, "I think I will, 'cause now I'm free to be whatever I wanna be."
