dancing in the rain

Faith Taylor

I sit alone by the cemetery

Trying to distract myself from reality

The moon looks white and dark, welcoming and scary

And I wonder why I look at all these ghosts and feel no sentimentality

Well maybe there’s a little bit, for I feel a small pang of heartbreak

And as my I lips begin to quiver and my eyes begin to quake

I begin to blame myself, I could have saved her, I could have tried

Maybe if I had chosen not to drink my baby would still be alive.
