steel skies stolen

there are days
i wish it would just
rain & rain & rain
wash everything away
down the drains &
carry us to a place
where we could
finally meet again
you could say, “hey” &
i could say, “hi” &
though we’ve never met
we could be friends
or maybe lovers
like we were before
we fell out of dream

our steel skies stolen,
some days
i wish it would just
rain.

    The feeling of wishing you could start over is captured so well here, that desire to wash it all away and begin again. I particularly like the last stanza.

      Do overs would be an awesome feature to have available.

        Those are some of my favorite films, where they show the different paths you could have taken. It can be dangerous for me to think too long along those lines.

          I try not to let myself do that anymore 🙂
