Pipe Dreams on Rainy Days

Lightning strikes the ground
Thunder echoes across the land
As heaven sends down the tears denied
To comfort the poor mortal that was I

My heart beats ecstatic
As I kiss the deluge of rain
For here I could make believe
Let go and allow myself to pretend
In a few measly moments
I would be drenched with fairy magic
The one that transports me to him

People may shake their heads
In disbelief and in disgust
To behold such a livid spectacle
Of a happily plastered girl soaking wet

Though they will never know
Never bound to understand
Its unadorned mirth of illusion
Its unforgiving pain of reality
And how at the end of the day
I would give up anything
At the cost of losing sanity
For another minute more
