it has been raining for so long
I still see the sky through it

how can I trust the sunshine
to be real

I shut the warmth out of my mind
remembering the grey

it will take a little longer
before I let myself feel

Look,
that
lies beyond shame;
being enveloped
in the certainty:

you are
perfect

~
But what if I burn too much
says the fire
In that case I will
just put you out a bit
murmurs the water
and wraps itself
around the flames
just enough
to calm the fire down a bit
