i should try for sleep
the state in which you find your dreams
and during which you can create
any wish you desire to live
if i do try for sleep
i would discover nothing new
but in my dreams i might relive
the feelings i feel for you
I woke up to the sound of rain
Its cry never ceases to amaze
In its drumming I lose my pain
Like the opaque sheets create a haze
Of course the faze can't fully drain
The well of angst found within this craze
As my feelings turn to downpour and
the signs point to lightning I
find myself seeking rainbows
in my need to leave God's grace
if you love me tear me down
with such force i break the ground
if you love me throw me out
leave me lonely by myself
if you love me cuss a storm
with such rage you make me cry
if you love me trash my name
leave me friendless with your vice
and if you hate me you'll never call
to tell me it was all because you love
do you love me
do you hate me
*both*
like hearts we once betrothed
you took his but didn't leave your own
did you think if you walked out one summer night
the world wouldn't notice you took flight?
the streets are wet with rain
the scent of which sizzles my sinuses
i walk slowly as cars pass
i watch their shine in reflective pavement
reds and white mix with green stoplights
the air ruffles my hair
and i feel alive
i let the sounds fill me
i let the wall amuse me
i let the thoughts come to me
i let the pen write me
i let emotion shake me
i feel my mind awake me
she learned to cry the day lightning lit the sky
each flash displayed her outline
each crash filled her lungs
and if she would have let me see
each tear would have earned a kiss
i lived with giving in
i have lived unseen
i have lived unliving
now the song within
will not give in
I love to let things flow
let the water droplets collide
form rives and streams
or clouds in the sky
in mist or light
I want the world see
my heartbeat
