I Dreamed it was Raining

Standing on the point of no return
Watching on one side as the fire burns
Not having anywhere to turn
No lessons that haven't been already learned

But the fork in the road is life or death
Go to the right, or go to the left
But I can't just stand here on the edge
I have to go straight, or to the depths

The choices I've made pull me in one way
The call of my heart pleads me to stay
My love's voice echoes from far away
"Why did you leave me here today?"

The terror of falling into the night
Kills my lover and adds more fright
So I close my eyes and hold on tight
Hoping something will turn out right

Letting this decision and my lover go
Causes me pain I didn't want to know
Why'd I lose him? I love him so
I'm standing here taking the sword's harsh blow

Blood falls with my tears into the rain
I welcome the color and the sweetness of pain
And if I am to go insane
Will someone see me in my clothes, blood-stained?

Will someone care? Will someone cry?
Will someone want to know just why?
With a whisper, with a sigh
I'm leaning over to kiss him goodbye.

The taste of the kiss is so divinely sweet
Suddenly, my death, I don't want to meet
But my heart's undergone so much defeat
That there's nothing more I can do, I'm beat

So I say my last words, with a hug and a smile
Telling him to relax, he'll feel better in awhile
And the wind, it laughs like a little child
Like when we first met, we were so sweet and so mild

Blowing a kiss, I step into the fire
Letting it burn away my deceitful desires
All of my thoughts of hating the liars
Your courage at losing me, I will always admire.

Sweet dreams.
