Earthy Smell

The rain pours down

The silent pitter patter

A shadow falls around me

And my heart starts to drown

I feel myself rip apart

Strands of happiness

No longer hold me together

And the pain hits me like a dart

It’s like a thousand needles

Doused in lemonade

It hurts me to the core

And stings me like a blade

I close my eyes

I take a deep breath

Headphones on

The volume rockets high

My heart matches the beat

The notes pull me back together

The music holds me in its arms

As I walk down the street
