in this heavy rain
you've made me into a cliche
i stand in this heavy rain
shivering but not with cold
and the tracks down my face are hot
a salt water downpour
all i can say when you leave me wordless
your eyes radiate coffee and amber sunlight
pushing back the words that drip from my soul
i am a rainstorm of emotions and honesty
you are a beautiful sunlit day
but the sun always sets and streetlights show the truth
you're a bad luck charm
and i still want you
i wish i didn't
i wish i had some semblance of control
but i don't
because a bad luck charm is still a charm
and i'm still clinging to your curse
it's not your fault
you're an empty blue sky
who cannot find a way to care
for the torrential too honest words
of a girl with desperate
clouded eyes
for i would only distract from your glow
a clear azure canvas of potential
you are beautiful
but you are hollow
an endless expanse of stunning colour
that every windy heart and thunderstorm soul
wants to fall into
but if we were to join you in the sky
suddenly our beauty is not so clear
from up close
and you would move on
for you are empty blue sky
and that's what makes you beautiful i guess
no one can come near you
that just wouldn't be you
so you stay clear, and stunning, and passing
and in your wake you leave storms
a hurricane, self destructive in her confusion
a wildfire, burning every bridge she built on trust
a downpour, standing in this heavy rain
wondering why she was wrong
why i was wrong
i stand in this heavy rain
shivering but not with cold
and the tracks down my face are hot
a salt water downpour
all i can say when you leave me wordless
your eyes radiate coffee and amber sunlight
pushing back the words that drip from my soul
i am a rainstorm of emotions and honesty
you are a beautiful sunlit day
but the sun always sets and streetlights show the truth
you're a bad luck charm
and i still want you
i wish i didn't
i wish i had some semblance of control
but i don't
because a bad luck charm is still a charm
and i'm still clinging to your curse
it's not your fault
you're an empty blue sky
who cannot find a way to care
for the torrential too honest words
of a girl with desperate
clouded eyes
for i would only distract from your glow
a clear azure canvas of potential
you are beautiful

an endless expanse of stunning colour
that every windy heart and thunderstorm soul

why i was wrong

This is an incredibly rich canvas you've painted here. So full of emotion and imagery. Truly stunning

stark atmosphere, desolate & raging;
you wait a long time before the rain ends...
you wait a long time before the rain ends...
