LIKELY AS THE RAIN

I’ve always liked it

when it’s sunny and warm.

You like it cold

’cause you’re from the north.

Now I’m sitting by a window

watching rain fall down

…in California.

Looks like you always seem

to get what you want.

Even when it goes against

the natural odds.

’Cause it’s 7 in the morning

and my bathroom’s flooding

hard…

I never knew

what made you do what you do.

Tuck me into bed

and then you sneak o to

be somewhere with another

who’s more like your mother

and doesn’t expect as much of you

An anomaly.

I’m not like you and you’re not like me,

or how we used to be.

You know what they say,

thе all-consuming rage

and unbearable shamе,

of you losing me,

was as likely as the rain.
