From the greatest heights
Inspiration? Poignant? It doesn't stop it being true.
Rain down, come
Rain down, your misery
Pour down, come
Pour down, your sorrow
From the greatest height
To the greatest depths
Bleed out, come
Bleed out, your pain
Drain out, come
Drain out, your suffering
From the greatest heights
To the greatest depths
-
one for love, two for sorrow
It will get better, better tomorrow

Thanks for reading!
Author's Notes: This is in part inspired by two of my favourite songs from the 90s - Only Happy When It Rains by Garbage and Paranoid Android by Radiohead.
Along with a recent favourite One For Sorrow by Insomnium:
Hope you liked it. It's a little on the sad side. I am not sad now, but was when I was writing it.

Not to be a pessimist or contrarian, but are you sure?
Ooh can see the Radiohead influence. Love how this felt like a song and your word choices are perfect for a soft, rounded impact. Just gorgeous, and yes, poignant, but mostly uplifting. 💜
But will it Paul? Will it? Will it get better? Answer me Paul. Answer meeeeeee 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Loved your poem 🍩🥐
Nice work..better days for everyone, I hope. Such classic songs man!.. I need to listen to some more garbage again. Use to love a bunch of their songs, so thanks for this reminder. Haven’t heard one for sorrow before. Hope you had a fun weekend swimming in your pool of cash! 😁 Good to see you back raring to go lol!
I heard that!
