Unfiltered

Within my mind there’s precipitation
Humid and damp with anticipation
Thinking of the day my heart will crack
Letting that one soul attach

Yet in my heart I think you’ve always existed
Clinging between each beat with such persistence
That I never should have felt any solitude
For with me you weathered each bruise

By chance one day our lives will collide
Souls that compliment reflected in each other’s eyes
The attraction splashed in truth and real
Like the beauty of rain drops on a window sill

And we will float in vivid conversation
Reveling in one another’s creation
Quick to let the broken parts fall astray
As flooded debris flowing down the way

You won’t mind that I walk in eccentric
In your company I’ll hum electric
Sparked by the miracle of your essence
Voluntarily drowning myself in your presence

And for once I will erode my low esteem
Comfortable and safe in love-sewn seams
For through you I will let the past sink
Forget about the times I slipped on the brink

Not a day will flick by without my gratitude
My words to your ears meant to soothe
In a world polluted with deafening litter
The tone of my heart will be unfiltered

So looking to the stars that slowly fleet
I blink back fog filled with defeat
Aware in hope danger is tightly bound
But the thought of you silences the sound
