Sounds Like: Droplets of rain my sound is, sprinkling from a clear sky. Puddles of thunderous tears when you're screaming dry-eyed. I'm splatters of paint on the wall, on the canvas, on the floor. I'm a shadow lingering in the frame of a door. I'm emotion leaking through cracks in the ceiling. I'm black lines capturing grey feelings. As if I were awakening naked in a field. I'm a solitary rose with her petals pealed. Like a drizzle on a jazzy afternoon, my sound is a simple wish with a haunting tune.
