Rain
Take in everything
Forget
Take in everything
Forget
Sweat
Salt taste's good
In a very dry mouth
But
It's sickening
It teases with a start of reassurance
But then
It trails down
With less tiles to run on
It's starts tip-toeing moisture out
In the middle of your tongue
It dehydrates the rest of the setting
It causes a calibration to be joined
For a message to be made
That
I
Am
Thirsty
But
The problem with one cloud
Another could form
And another
And another
And Another
And if they join together
A storm could come
I am thirsty
Thirsty?
Thirsty for what?
Water
Clear Odorless Tasteless Neutral Liquid
Sufficient isn't it?
That's all you need?
That all you want?
And if they join together
A storm could come
Thirsty
I've been oh so thirsty
And that's when invisible hands start to open doors
Unlocking every category
What's Behind door number one?
Childhood memories; only child; key home kid; first friend
And door number two?
Liking boys; liking girls?; not liking girls. Crushes; first boyfriend
And door number three?
Losing work; bills to pay; break ups; single
Lonely
Lonely
Lonely
Lonely
A storm could form
And if it does
It rains...
