At the least of things
We share the rain
Just like we used to share the blanket
And the single mattress
You used to pull me close when I was just about to fall
Now we share the rain
Like I used to share the stories of all the things and people before you
Because nothing made sense
Before you, my dove
At the least of things
I like to think I made you fall in love with the rain
Cause loss is temporary
And love is a myth
But the cold droplets will forever feel like our kiss
The wind makes the drops feel like needles prickling on the skin
Drip drip drip
Until it gives way to violent red
At least, that’s what you used to say
I found it to be beautiful: cold droplets on the tender skin
I felt alive
I am alive
We both are
And no matter what you’ll still bleed
Whether it be the rain
Or your lips between my teeth
So, at the least of things
We will share the rain
Like I shared my love
Selflessly and blind
Now I fall off the mattress
With no one to pull me up
