The rain said to the tree,
“You’ve taken my heart,
Will you marry me?”
And the tree looked down
To the earth at his feet
And he said
“I love you too,
But there’s a problem you see
Some days I see the sky blacken and shake
And you become a hurricane
In that state, you destroy me
Tear up my roots,
Rip away my leaves
You water the ground,
You give me all that I need
Shower life upon my seeds
But I am scared to open upon to thee
To be strong in your raging wind
And give you my everything”

Just a simple flick of your tongue in your wrist
To purge your mouth of all of this
To let you pretend that you forget
You tease me only to justify it
How you get set on fire
It’s easy to fib when you’re a ***** liar
But I love you so
Let’s find a high rise up in Toronto
Promise to hold me tight,
I’d do it for you, though I hate the snow  
Make sealed promises
See how it goes

You move,
And send me a mile out
You pour, and I bloom
Endless stars and open space
Bleed from my open chest for you
The very greatest,
Of all creation
Burns hot and white where your lips left it
Your eyes filled with rain
And all the green buds that have flowered again

My love,
I have starved endlessly for you
And in that stabbing, rolling ache of hunger
I found that emptiness was pure
So bare and raw that when you came to me,
You could fill all space
Uninterrupted by a single lingering remnant
Of what you’ve made me long forget

You,
Like a rose garden in July
Being fed and nurtured by the Sun
All sights and sounds of things grown pure
And of the divine
Not crashing and breaking like waves
But softly swaying and holding a reflection
You are a lake with every color dancing on the surface
Natural, and occurring no matter what
Like the seasons

You’re the moon over the ocean
And all the light in between
Rising high,
Washing over me
In your love,
I’m clean

You’re bitter,
So you won’t pick up your phone
Is it the principle?
Or would you rather be alone?
I know I’m a whole lot
To swallow in one pill
But you made a promise
Keep it in your pocket
Or at least keep it close
Your silence at my spite is all I need
To know we love each other still
