ALONE IN THE RAIN
written 1994

Inspiration
Driven by
loneliness, I was involved in a relationship but desired someone else.
I really wanted love in my life. I wondered how it would be to
reject the current relationship and accept this new person into my life:
"if the dream came true, would I be even deeper blue?" There is also
a feeling that perhaps the other person may feel the same way: "Are
you the same inside, truth covered in pride?"
The longing is so unbearable that the poem ends with the command to either
start a relationship or to go away.
Text version of poem:
tormented by pain
it’s cold, alone in the rain.
i want to be in you
(you’re already within me)
don’t want any sleep
but so tired
(of you)
don’t want any food
but so hungry
(for you)
driven apart by sin
it’s you and it’s him,
never have i touched you
(except every day)
never have i held you
except when dreaming in the day
driven by desire
fueled by fire
is it only me
adding to the heat?
sometimes you are really there
not just in my head
but in real life,
for all to see.
why won’t you say
what i want to hear?
how do you know
truth is my fear?
trembling inside
losing all pride
if the dream came true
would i be even deeper blue?
driven apart by sin
then together again
cut our chains,
stop my pain,
it is so cold,
alone in the rain.
do you hear me?
did you already know?
is this all for show?
are you the same inside,
truth covered in pride?
get out of my head,
or show yourself in the light.
get out of my heart,
or bring love into my life.
