I Can't Stand The Rain

untitled
It’s something I have to get through
Not important, nothing to do with you
Just thumping around
Like the kids upstairs
Screaming out windows
Falling off chairs
But now
I’m listening now
I swear I’m not drunk
And I’m listening now
Every word that you say
Is a treasure to me
I’m memorizing
Every word that you say
I’m fighting
Been fighting for years and I’m losing,
It’s okay, just a thing
I have to suffer through
It won’t take long
And I’ll be back with you
I just can’t stand the rain
Rivulets obscuring the pane
I swear I’m not drunk
I’m listening now
Every word that you say
Is a treasure to me
And I’m listening now
Slitting wrists, drinking
Drowning my brain
Reading Neitzche and Camus
But I’ll be okay
These things pass away
You’re here now and I’ll be there
It’s okay
And I swear I’m not drunk
I’m listening
To every word that you say
Five others like this.

I like the pun between "pane" and "pain" in line 22. Exquisite wordplay.
