Rain outside my window
But it hasn’t reached your bathroom
The sound of a shower against the phone
I know you’re washing off the day

Can these creme soda waves go crashing
In a cozy direction
I know how it feels
To chase something in the sky
That will never be yours

Regardless of ourselves
We can have that boyfriend experience
I can lie on top of you from behind
You can be naked on your stomach
Texting whoever on your phone

You drip from my teeth
And it’s all from my decision
Scented everything
I’m drawn to its sweet smell

You’ve been this beauty on my cabin’s porch
I watch you from my screen door
The sun descends on you
Please don’t go away
With this false reality

The one who made you a mother…
The one who couldn’t make it work…
Ask him why
He wouldn’t want his wishes silenced…

I’ve reached for her wings
A numerous amount of times
They retract until she ascends
She’s beautiful to the air

I wish I knew her triumphs…

Rain likely to start
In the next few hours
She has to arrive by then
So we may be with each other
During a power outage
