Red umbrella in the rain

Empty drops of searing pain

Danger comes from skies above

Undermining thoughts of love

Makes me want to will away

Bleeding that may come her way

Random cries of tender grace

Etching hearts without a trace

Lilting voices singing out

Lending faith with every shout

Anguish spreading over me

Ill prepared as we might be

Nonetheless I feel your grief

Trying hard to spread relief

Hearing every cry of fear

Echoing from ear to ear

Risking all that we have found

Anguish never makes a sound

Is this how we both must live 

Never knowing what we give
