After the Rain

After the rain


I share your pain
Let me lessen the burden
Come, 
Hold my hand
Let me wrap my arms 
Around your frame 

Hold you close 
‘till our river overflows with 
our heart’s nose
I feel the fire in your heart
That lives for the buried and alive
May their souls live on forevermore 

I’m barely hanging on

I look back to see 
how far I’ve come
We were held by the same arms
I was precious in her eyes
Perfect she thought
With tears in her eyes
Warm , rolling off her face
Onto mine
Even when I screamed 
Bloody was I 
On her wooden floor
Pulled out by a midwife 
My heart cries
For the joy love brings to our eyes

I get lost sometimes 
In the tears in your eyes

Rolling off your face onto mine
I get lost in time 
with the frown drawn upside down upon your mouth
Knowing your time is fastly approaching
I watch the colors of our yesterday 
Yellow and purple hues 
Sunshine and royal blood 
For the God above
I hold my breath and fight back the tears
But they come back stronger every time

Walking around but getting nowhere 
The weather drags me down 
We can only wait 
For time to pass us by
And take me along the ride 
I know how it goes 
Gold cemented under dirt and soil 
You can breathe in me when I close my eyes
You are the reason 
I am broken in unbreakable parts 
It kills me to see you die
You drift away out of my life 

I’ve figured it out 
Rolling thunder’s wrath struck our house 
After the rain 
I survived 
I won’t hold on too tight
I’ll let you go and let you be where you belong

I’m barely hanging onto the thread of our love, 

It kills me to see that you’re  gone
Our distance has strengthened our bond
I hope you reach that happy medium 
That final destination 
The crystal palace 
With chairs of gold
More precious than diamond
Oh  what joy will it bring
