Shelter

When it rains
You don’t take shelter
You don’t take signs from God

When you can’t
Swallow your demons
You become starving
Darling, I’m noticing your flaws

They’re exactly what I want
Even if you won’t believe me
Know it

As you become
Part of my waking rituals
I can tell

You gather up
All of my demons
You become starving
Darling, I’m noticing my flaws

And I’m matching them with yours
Won’t you take me where you’re going
This time

And no matter the cost of rain
I will shelter you all the same

And now and then
I notice you laughing
Laughing at perfect death

And then you change
Suddenly hollow
You become starving
Darling, we must have met before

Though I could not say for sure
If we knew what we were in for
And no matter the cost of rain
I will shelter you all the same
