Rainy Skies
you dot the i's and cross the t's
on all that once meant much to me
it lies in tatters on the floor
so I don't go there anymore
what we built now falls apart
too many splinters in my heart
I know the reasons and the whys
they stretch across the now dark sky
torn to pieces what we knew
under rainy skies and crescent moons
a red umbrella that now leaks
drenched I wait for small relief
pack your bag and mount your horse
little waits for battled remorse
a tourniquet will stop the flow
when the dam breaks on the valley below
