The rain I'm
Hoping for
Won't come to me
Won't cover me
Until I'm dried up
The sun I'm
Wishing for
Won't come to me
Won't cover me
Until I'm soaked up

I just want you
To weather me away
I just want you
To weather me away

I wonder if with every shot of fireball,
She tastes our cinnamon kisses on her tongue
I wonder if every time she hugs the toilet,
She remembers what my arms felt like wrapped around her
I know when she wakes up with no memory of the night before,
She also forgets the way I loved her
And how I always have

She leaves fingerprints
On the back of my neck
And foot prints
On the side of my bed
Her lips stain my cheek
And she leaves behind
A scent I can only describe as
      June

I've heard of tornadoes
Mangling buildings and structures
Or hurricanes
Destroying landscapes and neighborhoods
Or earthquakes
Splitting the earth in two

But no one told me
A girl with green, wandering eyes
Would be my most destructive
Natural disaster
Mangling,
Destroying,
Splitting
My stomach, head, and heart
Stripping them from my ground

Her                                                lips
Curl up at the sky
And I wonder, for a moment,
If that's where she came from
She throws her                             head
Back
And laughs to the heavens
And I wonder, for a second,
If that's where she came from
Her                                               fingers
Interlace with mine
And I know
Where she came from
But I hope
That she stays
Here, on earth,
With me

My lips touched a few bottles last night
And my lips touched a few men
I broke a few of those bottles last night
And a few of those men broke me

She was a lover of augmented volume
To muffle her thoughts
She was a lover of alcoholic beverages
To drown her thoughts
She was a lover of casual ***
To distract her from her thoughts
But above all
She was a lover of not loving

The most unfortunate love of all
