The drizzle of rain falling on my face
Is a dreary reminder of the storming
And as the chemistry finally subsides
It feels like I am suddenly suffocating
The silence is maddening, deafening
To ears tuned into just one frequency
But no matter the strength of the signal
We're still just static in the symphony
I'd call you tomorrow to say hello
If it made a difference to more than me
But my only recourse is to walk away
Before my sanity elopes with the rest of me
I am frozen where my feet are standing
And my hair is drenched from this downpour
I've learned emptiness can grow without the water
But love can't swim, this far from shore
