May 28
Skies turn gray, but I don't mind
it's matched my mood for quite some time.
The rain taps the window like a soft lullaby,
I close my eyes and let it lie.

I pour my tears into a glass,
a toast to the things that didn't last.
The love, the laughs, the perfect plans
Slipped like water through my hands.

Let the kingdoms fade like perfume in the rain,
weren't they just illusions anyway?
I wore the crown, I played the part,
Now all I want is a softer heart.

So I wrap my hurt in velvet threads,
Tuck it beneath my tangled head.
And maybe when I wake someday,
the pain will have flown away.

'Cause even sorrow's got a song,
and darkness doesn't stay long.
The sun still kisses the morning dew
And I'll dream my way back to you.
