The Flood

Gently tapping to the sound of
rain flooding in my bedroom from the
defective routing of our eavestrough.
I’m gently tapping to the sound of rain.
I splash from my bedside to the door,
and as I tumble, I grasp at what I’ve hung on the wall:
My pieces of motivation torn to the ground,
they drift off to the edge of my basement sea.
Truly shaking at the sight of
rain quickly rising above my knees.
I stop to think of all I hold close,
I’m gently tapping to the sound of rain.
I take all the time I need to catch my breath.
It’s strange, but I haven’t felt this in touch with the world.
What happened to the days when everything seemed new?
Maybe we should let the flood run its course and see us through.
I guess it takes disaster for me to see
everything I should and shouldn’t be.
If I pay no mind to the water that’s surrounding me,
this is probably the happiest I’ve been.
I’ll be barely finding chances to breathe,
rain washing over like a bad dream.
I won’t be making it back this time,
I’m gently tapping to the sound of rain.

Waves (The Flood Pt. 2)
02:49

Every night gets colder than the last
and the wood is rotting faster than the ropes we used to craft
this metaphoric raft.
With water on the rise, I could read it in your eyes;
We can’t escape this impending capsize.
And the waves are rolling over.
And the waves pull us under.
Well, you said I would float when you let go of me,
but those words were anchors chained upon my feet,
and now my lungs fill up
with endless liquid irony.
And the waves are rolling over.
And the waves pull us under.
Well, I never really talk about love
‘cause it’s never really been consistent enough,
but let me tell you, it’s an ocean,
I try to keep my head above.
