• Silent pattering in the night
    A chill rolls down mine spine as a wave
    Followed by a blur
    A flash
    A choking
    A breath of relief
    And then I can patter along

    My coat of storm ridden clouds
    My nose wet like the rain from them
    My ears hearing any patter around
    My teeth glistening and ready to bite

    Guess I'll never know why you left
    Guess I'll never know why you cried without me
    Just like the clouds on my back
    You were wet and gray and a mystery to me

    But I'll heal and forget
    Because you're no longer in my pack
    And they actually care
    About whether or not I'm there
