"The gentle rain falls, a melancholy sound
Softly pitter-pattering on the ground
Just enough to wet my weary feet
But not enough to bring me sweet release
I stand here, loathing the rain's gentle touch
Longing for the deluge, the storm's fierce rush
But it stays just out of reach, a teasing game
Leaving me to suffer with its gentle shame
Oh, how I yearn for the cleansing flood
To wash away my sorrows, my pain, my mud
But the rain falls softly, a cruel reminder
That my troubles linger, a weight that never withers."
