In The Rain

Today could be my downfall
pouring rain
and racing emotions
or
Today could be my salvation...
a relief from the memory
of what it felt like 
to give everything up 
to manipulation...

this canvas drips
with years of anxiety
and I sometimes forget
how fucking scary this is.

Paint me like a scene 
that makes you smile
that lights those eyes
you use to look at me 
when you call me beautiful.
Laugh away
this hotel dreamscape
and remind me in the morning
that the door was never locked
remind me in the morning
that you are still beside me.

and I will not remember 
life before you came
and I may lose myself in you
and I will sometimes forget
how fucking scary this is.
