This April Night

On this April night
I can not see the stars
I see a black sky
With lightning flashing
In the distance.

On this April night
I sit here all alone
Smelling the spring air
And waiting for the rain.

On this April night
I am only eighteen
I think about love
I think about death
I think the rain will come soon
I hope that it does.
