I glanced at you both,
and no longer felt the jealousy
that would linger
and peel at my insides

You never did treat me right
It was your loss to lose such
an amazing prize
You will always be looking for a piece in me
in every person you're with

Someone asked if I was feeling blue
I said I hope so
Especially
If it means I'm a clear spring sky
A deep ocean sea
Staring into your eyes
Then yes
I am

Someone asked if I was sad
I said I hope so
Especially
If it means I am thinking of life
A day the way it ought to be
Of you
Then yes
I am

Someone asked if I was sorry
I said I hope so
Especially
If it means I am forgiven
A feeling of humility
About you
Then yes
I am

I fall like rain drops for you
And collect like puddles under your feet
Fetid liquid hoping just to feel
The sole of your shoe
Or to kick up onto the
Fresh shaved softness of your calf

Even after the rain stops
I will always be present
Like silent buttery flashes
Of lightning in thick clouds
Painting the interior of your car
And the lines of your face
