Rain

Sometimes I feel like it only rains at your house
Sometimes I feel like it only rains when I’m with you
Dark clouds cover my heart like leather on a beating drum
Lightning ignites my passion for you,
But burns down our forest of love
Delicate trees all smoke and singe now
Left standing bare,
Covered in vulnerable ash
Naked as our love
Thunder pounds against my every desire to stay
But I tell myself we can’t
Beating incessantly in my brain until I pray for my eyes to weep
I can’t hold you now
I can’t be with you
I can’t love you now
Rain won’t fall from the darkness of my soul
Tears won’t come from empty clouds
I crawl back to your house
Like a dying piece of road kill across the highway
I crawl to you
Looking for hope
Love
Friendship, anything
I want there to be something
But you can’t fix a heart already battered and broken
You can’t love the unlovable
You can’t be mine
It only rains at your house
It only rains when I’m with you.
