can't

i want to stand in the thunderstorms,
feel the rain trickle down my hair.
get all the water in the world,
my beat heart's banner unfurled,
stand bare shot skin in the air.

i want to stand in the thunderstorms,
let the lightning bake up my bones.
sing a little praise to life,
water- less salty than strife,
mouth moans, with you i'm not alone.

and i--
never had a love love love love love.
and i--
could never take a white-bright angel from above.
and i--
would'a bleed bleed bleed you dry.
and i--
pick petals from the flowers, leave the eye.

my first attempt at songwriting...
eh.
there's a rhythm in my head.... but it doesn't transfer to words.
