The city smells different

in the rain. Not like my country
not like their desert. 
I think I like it, it's just so
foreign. 
I feel foreign, here, there,
I have everywhere. 
Everywhere is strange,
everywhere, I'm strange,
except for your arms. 
Take my home, my dear. 
I tire of blazing my own trails 
my own paths through the 
jungles of this life. They all
end up where you are. 
I don't feel like fighting 
to be there; where I've always 
belonged. We've always 
belonged together. Just hold 
me there with you. Please. 
The rain feels like truth 
with you by my side. The
storms look like your pacific
eyes. Stay, love, let me convince 
you to stay. Every word I speak 
is a song of redundancy, a hymn
to hold your celestial form
on my temporary earth. Please;
please. I know I'm far from your 
floating existence, your skies of
serenity. But they are where I plan 
to be, they're where I fell from,
my darling, please hold a spot for me 
in your heavenly heart. Every
dreary day, I journey towards it.
