it's a burning in my chest that
can't be softened,
it's an ache in my belly that's never filled.
oh god, i prayed so many prayers
and you poured out your
storms from the sky.
i yelled at you, driving
down the road at midnight, wipers
slashing furiously across the windshield.
you didn't stop, and neither did i.
maybe i'm too stubborn but
you are too.
oh god, i wish we'd be friends again
like it used to be, love,
you and me,
safe and home.
