Drenched

Drenched Even in this summer heat Rain runs from the leaves And my ground too hard to soak it up It runs from me too The thirst for the past ignores the taste The reach forgets the burn Whichever way I turn The feeling digs in These poisons that draw me in then dry me out If they’d only let me sleep I could dream, dream of oceans These poisons that draw me in then dry me out If they’d only let me sleep I could dream, dream of oceans Choking Even in the freshest air Clouds tethered to my shoulders My breath too weak to blow away The thirst for the past ignores the taste The reach forgets the burn Whichever way I turn The feeling digs in These poisons that draw me in then dry me out If they’d only let me sleep I could dream, dream of oceans These poisons that draw me in then dry me out If they’d only let me sleep I could dream, dream of oceans
