Rain

Water, water my soul.

By functional junkiePublished 7 years ago 1 min read

A storm takes place in my chest

Then finally

It rains

And my heart is watered

I prayed for flowers this time

For I had to drown my heart

to kill the weeds that grew here last time

My tongue decides to move

I speak

I tell you goodbye

I don't want to mean it

But I must choose to be happy

My heart and I, we lost the battle

And you lost me

Godspeed to me

and my flowers

May I find my smile in the gutters

If I could clench onto the stars in your eyes any longer

I'd choose not to

I have found my own stars

I have found a love that is all for my own
