St. Clair Avenue After the Rain
The Danger of falling in Love #3 (Breaking Up)
We both ran
Carelessly into our feelings
Words like accidents
Smashing our indifferences
So we fled the scene
On the street again I was
Free yet with a weight of darkness
where this heart used to be.
I returned for my heart and
Found you crying
Still in love with me.
We put back the pieces
Now I am no longer light
Parts are missing
I feel it
This weight of darkness
I carry still.
