Under the Rainbow


Dreaming under the rainbow

Crash from the high

There’s a tear upon your face

But do you remember why you cried?

 

Dreaming under the rainbow

Where are you?

You promised that you’d stay with me,

But was that the truth?

 

One day I cried upon the moon

Dozed off where waves were crashing soon

Where happiness shatters like the blackest heart

Trapped inside a mini mart

That’s where I found you

 

Dreaming under the rainbow

Blackbirds cry

Begging someone to save them

Watch as the time goes by

 

If everything I love must die

Under the rainbow, where they lie

Then why can’t I?

I'm a Grad student now studying Biochemistry and Biophysics (not sure how I got there). I guess I've been using this site for nearly 8 years now though sometimes I went years without writing much of anything. I write what I feel and I write what I need to let go of. Sometimes I write about a dream or a nightmare I had, If I can tell the difference. I fell in love for poetry in high school and continued to write in college. I hope to publish a book someday as well (leave a comment if a poem speaks to you). P.S. My Instagram is @CottonCandyPoems
