The heavens refuse to rain with me

DON'T ABANDON YOUR PARENTS WHEN OLD!

It just doesn’t feel like,

The place I grew,

Where are those friends?

I wish I knew,

The walls are no longer green,

And the heavens refuse to rain with me.

I look at the sky,

It’s naked and blue,

It burns in shame,

I take my cue,

I can feel the water leaving me,

But the heavens refuse to rain with me.

It is not what I had in dreams,

Not the place where I lived free,

I must have lost my way to home,

Where I left the child, I used to be.

The faces look so unfamiliar,

Their eyes wondering why I am here,

And stranger is the word I can hear,

This place I can no longer bear.

I know I took the right road,

This road I can remember well,

But where is the tree house I built?

Where is that tree, will someone tell?

Blinded by the city lights,

I left myself behind,

And look around all that I may,

Even memories I cannot find,

I came crawling to the shade I wanted to feel,

But the heavens refuse to rain with me.
