It Poured Emotion

Rainwater ballet on a cool, misty night
We're whirling and twirling and screaming
And there's so little anyone could do
Soaked to the skin and smiling wide
I'm wearing whatever I could find
And forgetting to care that it's now ruined.

Crackling air warns us of what's coming
It's light in the darkness, so calm, so foreboding
A flash of hope to sobbing skies and crying eyes
Closer, closer, inching closer still
And all we want is to touch that light
To be free of the midnight that encases
And consumes everything we love.

Even blind, I can still see you clearly
Beautiful, and each unlike the next
Innocence died along with blue skies
We've embraced our newfound flaws
And the broken lives we've so created
Never needing to be like them
Love costs so much more than that.

And that's exactly what it is, love
In its most unexpected form
Not enough to heal the damage
Not enough to change the world
Not enough to save us
And yet, enough to distract
To occupy the imagination
To make this awful storm we've weathered
Almost worth the while.
