It Rained All Day
it rained all day
the day my love died
nothing seemed to matter
no matter how hard I tried
When I saw his photo
on that web page next to hers
my eyes filled with water
and all I saw was blurred
but just for a moment
cause at last I understood
why these past months with her
have been less than they should
now I knew she had another
that's not too far away
when I saw them together
on that web page earlier today
I started to feel much better
because now at last I knew
she is just a freakin' whore
and at last we are through
it rained all day
the day my loved died
I can't believe I sat here
and just cried
it is still raining
and has been all day
I really don't care
I'm gonna stay locked away
no matter how much I would give
no matter how hard I would try
she didn't care if I lived
she didn't care if I died
it rained all day
the day my loved died
any wonder I stay indoors
and just wanna hide?
as I smoke another
and sip at my tea
and pray to dear God
to please save me
save me from the modern world
and save me from harm
give me some money
I wanna buy a farm
and move far away
from the modern world and it's charm
I don't want no internet
I can't take the harm
for too many years now
I have been giving it away
but this is my last poem
I have nothing left to say...
