Wish Upon the Rain

Scented mornings become a spill of bedlam While her soul sweeps away stagnant rainbows Sunset skies shower tears of filth Ever-changing from warm to gray Laying oceans built from tears beneath memories As she had it planned the night before... Sadness bids at her doorstep Reminding her of the task Silently waking she kisses each petal Two notes have already been penned Lips glazed with fresh color Eyes penciled black Her cheeks glow pink in the darkness Stars hang by strings from the ceiling A portrait of jealousy.. She pulls on a white dress made of satin Candles warping the moment A quality picture of contrast Scarlet meets a porcelain figure Breathing is a lost option The chalky notes are the last of this girl Her wings just weren't enough The petals are left to her lover She used her heart as a crayon Pulling tears with each string In the end nobody could help her She lay broken as a statue Abandoning everything The second note she read out loud Their sobbing could be heard From every neighbor's doorstep A world that never noticed Was stamped with every word
