Umbrella

Rain, violently pouring down
The fields, covered, as if by a crown
envelopped, their sight changed
It all seemed so prearranged

I stood there, calm, but not untouched
my hand around the amulet it clutched
the scene, so vivid, so real
no, it couldn't even begin conceal..

My umbrella, my only hope
preventing my falling off the slope
of this once so green,
once so peaceful field

Far ahead, beyond my reach
you stood, you scream, let out a screech
the sound, dulled, just as if
we were seperated by a massive cliff

If the rain would hit me
it would all be over, I could guarantee
'cause I'd seen it before, and I knew it by now
I had to stay underneath my umbrella somehow

Protecting, shielding me with all of its might
hiding my presence from their piercing sight
I would not surrender, I simply could not
however, there is one thing I think I forgot

That one thing, overlooked, in my all consuming fear
now suddenly seemed so appalingly clear
If I were to reach you, the only way
was to plunge in, into this awful display

My hands, both of them I need
to let this whole thing have even a chance to succeed
My umbrella, taking that away
had seemingly been trying to lead me astray

The betrayal of that familiar thing
finally pulled the only right string
Closing it, dropping it next to me
you were suddenly all I could see

The rain, once so loud and so violent
now suddenly seemed so utterly silent
Clasping your hand, my face lit with glee
as you said, you told, the only possible truth to me

'Welcome to the real world.
I knew you couldn't hide forever.'
