There’s no More Sunshine and no More Rain

i could strangle the sea with my yearning,
burning unfulfilled desires buried behind the shed
i take out the trash and pass it by on my way inside
putrid smell rancid reminder reprimanding me
i havent done my laundry yet but theres still time
just be careful with the colors
a game of keep away we play
until the next day and the next day
until we run out of days
theres no more sunshine and no more rain
and no more time to stay the same
when nothing comes to take your place
what good is it to stand and waste
the wick which wears your skin so thin
