The Weatherman Said Overcast

When you finish reading over this
Trace over the words with a marker
Then leave it outside when the weatherman advises you to
The ink won't dissolve as fast as I did

And it's striking like the words you spoke in vowels
Or your attempt at a busted smile
That was your tour de force
So here is your medal

But be sure it doesn't stain the front porch that sets the stage for your short goodbyes

After all, who needs any recollection of this, right?
Use bleach on the concrete incase it decides to stick around
And send it running in the same direction as me
I could use the company now that I've been put out of business

And it's striking like the words you spoke in vowels
Or your attempt at a busted smile
That was your tour de force
So here is your medal
