                                                            3:28am
                                    For every drop of rain that hits the earth
                                                             3:56
                         I hear that soulful voice echoing through my  mind
                                                             4:02
                                            It’s crashing along the sea
                                                             4:21
                                  It’s from the calm whispers of the wind
                                                             4:42
     The calming of every nerve and the air you give me to my lungs
                                                             5:07
                               You’re trying to tear the skin off your bones
                                                             5:23
                                With my tears burning holes in your cheeks
                                         Praying that I won’t wake up
                                                             5:42
              Your eyes were a beautiful cloud but all I wanted was rain
                                                            5:59
       You opened your heart to someone who has theirs locked away
                                                            6:18
               Your cigarettes stained my lungs and I stained your heart
                                                            6:39
  I was tired of the rain falling softly to get my feet wet and letting you drown instead 
                                                            6:53
                 Our body is full of organs but I made you feel so empty
                                                            7:13
                                   At least we are under the same sky
                                                            7:34
                                    Should I walk away or try harder?
                                                            7:45
                   You had a paper heart and I was playing with matches   
                                                            7:49                               I thought people don’t waste their time on things that can’t be changed 
                                                           7:51
                                                   As we get older
                                                    We get colder
                                                            7:53
                                    Heaven is a place on earth with you
                                                             7:55
                                                         I woke up
                                                           8:00am
                                                   Thank you, mom

I was inspired by the poem "Cinderella" by Enid Dame since in my school we have a poetry in performance module and our teacher gave us this as a prompt for us :)
