After the storm

I’m empty and weak

Holding tight to the skirt of a rainbow

But none of that matters

When I see you shine

I know that I’ll never let go

Your beauty inspires

I’ve bathed in it’s wonder

But also I’ve drowned in its wrath

Nobody sees

Behind the scenes

The way beauty turns into a bloodbath

But still I hold on

Though your colors bleed

And I am stuck cleaning the mess

But sometimes I wonder

If it would be worth it

To walk in a stained wedding dress

And then all of a sudden

I only see gray

And maybe your hues drove me blind

But all I see now

Is a shell of a person

Who’s love I can no longer find

After the storm

I’m empty and weak

Holding tight to the skirt of a rainbow

But seeing you now

Your true color showing

I’m thinking it’s time I should let go
