New Song

Fall Weather

I wake up to another Michigan autumn day
I feel the crisp chill of air and I see the sky of grey.
I had another dream about you the night before
I promise you, it’s not intentional.

You’re just always on my mind
You’re the answer I can’t seem to find.
When we’re together, I feel like I will never
Find a feeling like this again.

But you don’t know the things that I would do for you
I’m tired of waking up and not waking next to you
I see the stars above when I look into your eyes
I call out to you, but you keep on walking by.

As the rain comes down, I can hear the drops falling to the earth.
I feel the rumble of the thunder in my own body and see the bolt of lightning as it bridges heaven and earth.
Despite being inside, away from the storm, I cannot help but feel like I am still out in the rain.
The chaotic gloom outside reflects my unrest inside.
Each raindrop that falls is just another personal doubt; another misgiving.
Each thunder clap is my own raw emotion and frustrations trying to escape.
Each lightning bolt is the fire in my eyes, my own impulsive urges.
The longer I remain here listening to the storm, the harder it becomes to differentiate between the grey, swirling thoughts outside and the hectic, dark storm inside.
