Raindrops
February 13, 2010
we made close contact long before I knew your name
my skin so permeable to your delicate touch
extraction is impossible now
my woes recorded in green static without escape
weighing down the wings of birds that only wish to fly
you snatch joy away from the ones you gave life
granting existence and appointing dukes
though they're treasonous and protect me
just don't glance this way
i ran for three days just trying to get away
I felt heavy and you persuaded me to take off the clothing at fault
and what choice did i have?
now there is nothing to keep us apart
