Rain

They say rain is about new beginnings 

And spring is here and we are grinning

In the rain.

But who is they? And what do they want?

They’ve taken me, grabbed me by the chin

and told me I was made of yellow and 

rainclouds and animal skin. 

But that’s my body and you can’t 

tell me what’s inside. And once you

decide, I could have cried

as you were laying by me, rambling 

about the lake where you went every 

summer and how it never rained, 

but I think you’ve lied because 

good things can rain too, but you never

understood, so when I rained you 

went to hide. 

So what is the sun without rain?

And what is the moon without darkness?

And what is our love if not just pain?

Questions you can’t answer and 

perhaps the world ceases to know

but your arms are the only place

that my body aches to go. 

But I cant, because its Spring, and 

the world is beginning and ending 

but now the rules are bending, so maybe 

I can and maybe you’ll bring the 

rain or the sun, but doesn’t matter

because I am made of both and none.
