words fell from your mouth like rain drops
as puddles collect on the floor
i can barely keep up with the speed they come out
you're at about a thousand or more
i try to focus on the counting
ignoring the message they bring
and as each one hits the cold, hard cement
i begin to notice something
your words fall apart at contact
leaving new ones to be found
your reasoning's lying there broken
thoughts scattered across the ground
the "belief" that you give turns into a "lie"
and "truth" turns into "hurtt"
all the little things you say
can't be taken for what they're worth
but all the strange reconstructions
are patterns of my design
realization returns them to original shape
allowing droplets to intertwine
so i pick up the "L" from longing
and the "O" from revolution
the "V" i take from vulnerability
and the "E" comes from coming undone
i hand back the new message i've fastened
a token (i hope) of peace
the raining stops and your smile comes out
and for once, silence puts us at ease
