Awakening

Lift my face

and feel the rain

Rejoicing as it washes

away my pain

Standing in the darkened street

watch puddles gather at my feet

I have been so bought and sold

I can no longer feel the cold

It's time to live or say goodbye

I turn only to realize

you are already gone

Quite some time ago

I was so unaware

that I didn't know
