A grey cloud covers her sky , Its raining in her mind tonight , first a drop made the vase leak and ever since its been spilling through her eyes . She cant figure out how to make it stop , as she doesn’t know why , So she just waits till it empties,she waits a lifeteime . And when her eyes aren’t the subject of a tsunami, it’s her heart that takes the weight of the entre ocean . it’s her heart that becomes blue , as an irregular rythm is set in motion , But her heart gets so full so fast, and the vase is only half empty , she feels it beating so hard , right beneath her skin . So she swallows It all , glad that now she feels it less , she’s meant to be eating and swallowing , so it all makes sense . Then suddenly she’s not hungry for anything but water and air , and even that is now suffocating . She chokes on it , drowns in it , as now it exudes from her pores , no matter how much gets out , there always seems to be more , oh the lord knows how she’d want it to stop ,  wants to stop it all. It fills her up , and fills her mouth,only for her to ***** it out , hoping its all of it , shes purposefully gags , ignoring her groans and moans that are now ever so loud . she empties her stomach's contents , that now has no water , no, only air. She hopes she's finally taken away part of the trouble and part of the blue that messed up her head . but the vase is only half empty , she reminds herself , still its begging for exit , a crack in it is enough for the story to repeat-itself .

When it rains
A grey cloud covers her sky , Its raining in her mind tonight , first a drop made the vase leak and ever since its been spilling through her eyes . She cant figure out how to make it stop , as she doesn’t know why , So she just waits till it empties,she waits a lifeteime . And when her eyes aren’t the subject of a tsunami, it’s her heart that takes the weight of the entre ocean . it’s her heart that becomes blue , as an irregular rythm is set in motion , But her heart gets so full so fast, and the vase is only half empty , she feels it beating so hard , right beneath her skin . So she swallows It all , glad that now she feels it less , she’s meant to be eating and swallowing , so it all makes sense . Then suddenly she’s not hungry for anything but water and air , and even that is now suffocating . She chokes on it , drowns in it , as now it exudes from her pores , no matter how much gets out , there always seems to be more , oh the lord knows how she’d want it to stop ,  wants to stop it all. It fills her up , and fills her mouth,only for her to ***** it out , hoping its all of it , shes purposefully gags , ignoring her groans and moans that are now ever so loud . she empties her stomach's contents , that now has no water , no, only air. She hopes she's finally taken away part of the trouble and part of the blue that messed up her head . but the vase is only half empty , she reminds herself , still its begging for exit , a crack in it is enough for the story to repeat-itself .
