Set your heart free

The muse and I share the rainbow


In the rain 

I drink in

In the rain 

 

As your mascara runs

Beating rhythms to your chest

Your tongue tastes the sweat 

Drunk from another

 

In the rain 

I drink in

In the rain 

 

Tip the whiskey demons down your throat

Obscure the yesterday as it drips from the venom

All the while selling souls

To those who will listen

 

In the rain 

I drink in

In the rain

 

Join the dance of denial

As we tango into a new oblivion

Home alone again with another regret

Red is the drawn glow of a final cigarette

 

In the rain 

I drink in

In the rain

 

We were beautiful once without the scars

Hiding once that was a raindrop

Sliced in crystal lined air 

Drunk on the Gypsy’s wing

 

In the rain 

I drink in

In the rain 

 

This love thats drawn in chalk upon the floor

Smudges as yesterdays paradise breathes

Tattoo’d upon a silver’d chest

The words I love you

 

In the rain 

I drink in

In the rain

 

As the truth will set your heart free

Adrian,
The intensity and inferences make this an incredibly powerful piece. That shared vice, the regrets, the yearning,the scene... you paint it all with a vividly colored brush.
