Ellie Rose McKee

I'm at the start of my career as a writer. Originally from Bangor I've recently moved back here after spending 3 years in Lincoln. Slightly eccentric with a great love of animals, song lyrics and firm handshakes, I'm not your average girl.

I Can’t Feel the Rain by Ellie Rose McKee

I can’t feel the rain Even though it’s flowing
I can’t feel the rain
Even though it’s showing

I can see the droplets
Reflecting in the light
I can see the puddles
Rippling in the night

I can even hear it
The patter all around
But I can’t feel the rain
Regardless of the sound

Is it that I’m numb?
...bizarre? or just don’t care?
About this I am clueless
to guess I would not dare
All I know is this...

I can’t feel the rain
But I know it’s there
