Washed Away

Washed away
in a tropical storm
swept into the gutter of lost love
down into the deep dark drains of
oh, how I wish it could’ve been different?
 
it’s the only way I can describe losing you
in torrential rain and hurricane winds
that just wouldn't quiet
 
until that precious moment
I let go of your so called love
and let it all just run free
 
by opening my eyes
and closing my heart
 
I did it
 
and now?
I will never, ever again
leave home
without a heavy-duty umbrella.
