she's a bloodhound for bad omens; she can smell petrichor on a clear day. we're half hanging out my bedroom window when it starts, rain-patter kisses on our dangling feet. we're giggling at the underside of a tree frog stuck to the pane, and suddenly I'm ten years old again, gazing wide-eyed and stiff at dolphins just barely poking up from the oceans surface. I haven't been back to the beach since then -- awestruck into complacency -- glued 30 minutes from the coast dreaming of PTO and a drivers license. she says one day, we'll fall to earth and the river will wash us back out. one day

It's been raining all day
And how fitting it seems
We knew it'd happen eventually
So why am I having trouble breathing?
I watch you fall through emotions
Like the rolling thunder outside
You try to understand my mind
But oh, I've broken your heart so
I'm not sure what delusion I was in
That this wouldn't be a messy conclusion
Or that I could somehow make you understand
That loving someone doesn't mean they're best
You're no good and I know it
I'm no good though I've tried
But your touch is like ******
Toxic as it seems
It takes me higher and higher
And I've played these games for far too long
Running away from a truth I've known
So how can I be so surprised
That you lash out and scream 'why'
I dream about the day years from now
When I run into you on the street
You'll have her hand in yours
And I'll be alone
We'll catch eyes, and for a brief moment
We'll go back to those times of love and loss
But then we'll smile, and casually walk on
And that, dear man, is why I can't find the words to speak
I know this is really the end
