Pitter-Patter

Pitter-patter, pitter-patter
The tears fall from her eyes
Onto the canvas, smudging the paint
It takes her by surprise

Pitter-patter, pitter-patter
Tears falling thick and fast
Patiently waiting for the hurt to fade
She knows that it won't last.

Pitter-patter, pitter-patter,
Hot water hits her skin
The shower's filling up with steam
It's less painful than what's within

Pitter-patter, pitter-patter,
It's pouring down with rain
She looks down at her artwork
Your face is covered by a stain

Pitter-patter, pitter-patter
Lightening and thunder roar
She hates how much she hates herself
What's the word? "Abhor"?

Pitter-patter, pitter-patter,
It's drizzling, soft and light
Breathe in, breathe out. Start again
There's a rainbow shining bright.
