or so i’m told

rainclouds

the universe is big
and dark and cold
a kiss could break a heart
or so i’m told

her countenance was sweet
and warm and bright
a bed could burn for two
throughout the night

the atmosphere was fresh
and light and thin
unlike any place
i ever been

like Icarus i climbed
and fell and fell
a taste of heaven
on my way to hell

the universe is big
and dark and cold
a kiss could break a heart
or so i’m told
