Across the Dark

I chased the lightning across the dark felt the thunder where the demons are parked stood in the rain to let it cleanse saw my soul through a crystalline lens I rung out the drops but still stood wet couldn't put it aside or ever forget it's buried too deep and the cleanse isn't pure no matter how many storms I endure the morning comes and the sun shines hot did you ever love me or did you not? my spirit stays damp and will never dry out when I think its gone...new thoughts sprout I climbed the mountain and shout the words they echo scaring the animals that heard I stare at the valley stretched below remembering more than you'll ever know
