Heavy rain drums against cracked windows tonight,

While memories surface from depths unknown.

In darkness, I search for a forgotten song’s light.

Storm clouds gather, stealing away the sight

Of stars that once upon our faces shone.

Heavy rain drums against cracked windows tonight.

The melody escapes—try as I might,

Its phantom notes scatter like seeds half-sown.

In darkness, I search for a forgotten song’s light.

Water seeps through fractures, marking its plight

On walls that have weathered and aged and grown.

Heavy rain drums against cracked windows tonight.

The record player stands silent, upright,

Collecting dust where music once was thrown.

In darkness, I search for a forgotten song’s light.

Then lightning strikes—I hear it, clear and bright,

The chorus returns to reclaim its throne.

Heavy rain drums against cracked windows tonight;

In darkness, I found a forgotten song’s light.
