Storms We Cannot Weather
A Good Omens found poem, Crowley POV
(citations version)
(see original here)
I used to sit all alone in the dark (Cavanaugh Park: Something Corporate)
You fall….and… (Complicated: Avril Lavigne)
There was no reason. No explanation (Saw You in a Dream: The Japanese House)
I prayed that God would be forgiving (I Dreamed A Dream: Les Miserables)
But… (this could be literally any song)
Do you remember that day when we met? (It’s Not a Fashion Statement, It’s a Deathwish: My Chemical Romance)
Right from the start (A Thousand Years: Christina Perri)
I can’t quite explain… (Calling You: Blue October)
But the grace of your eyes can see good in me (Kite: Copeland)
Suddenly...my life doesn’t seem such a waste (Come What May: Moulin Rouge)
Why aren’t you scared of me? Why do you care for me? (Bury a Friend: Billie Eilish)
So I will not ask you where you came from. I will not ask. Neither should you. (Like Real People Do: Hozier)
And then...I fell in love with you… (Calling You: Blue October)
You say that love is not that easy (Hypocrates: MARINA)
Following their rules. Following the path of least resistance. (For a Fool: The Shins)
Bound by suffocating secrets (Gabriel: Valentina)
“This is Heaven, what I truly want” (Gods & Monsters: Lana del Rey)
But they don’t understand who you are (Gold: MARINA)
“How can I love when I’m afraid to fall?” (A Thousand Years: Christina Perri)
I believe there’s a way you can love me (Love Song: Sara Bareilles)
Listen….we won’t tell anyone (Rifle’s Spiral: The Shins)
They won’t get to us (Straw Dog: Something Corporate)
You might think I’m incapable of loving a soul like yours (Shesgotstyle: Never Shout Never)
Still I say there’s a way for us (On My Own: Les Miserables)
My darling, my sweetheart (Rise to Me: The Decemberists)
You’ve been so lonely in the name of being holy (Buy the Stars: MARINA)
It’s not that the darkness can’t touch our lives (September: The Shins)
Yet there’s still this appeal (Love Will Tear Us Apart: Joy Division)
The hopes of one day… (Rainy Monday: Shiny Toy Guns)
I don’t quite know how to say how I feel (Chasing Cars: Snow Patrol)
All the times I could have…Oh I just want to…. (Island: Coheed & Cambria)
I have loved you for a thousand years (A Thousand Years: Christina Perri)
I will love you until my dying day (Come What May: Moulin Rouge)
You’re still my favourite (Black and Blue: Chris Garneau)
And I’m willing to break myself (Break Myself: Something Corporate)
Asking if you love me (Calling You: Blue October)
Darling, don’t be afraid (A Thousand Years: Christina Perri)
We’ve nothing to prove (Simple Song: The Shins)
We don’t need anything, or anyone (Chasing Cars: Snow Patrol)
Is it possible to say….baby, let’s run away (Madi Don’t Leave: PlayRadioPlay!)
We can escape….away from all of this (Straw Dog: Something Corporate)
It’s different this time (Better Son/Daughter: Rilo Kiley)
Just you and I (It’s Not a Fashion Statement, It’s a Deathwish: My Chemical Romance)
Just our hands clasped so tight (I Will Follow you into the Dark: Death Cab for Cutie)
Just kiss like real people do (Like Real People Do: Hozier)
‘Til all that remains is the arms of an angel (Calamity Song: The Decemberists)
But love comes slow….and it goes so fast. (Let Her Go: Passenger)
Is my timing that flawed? (Love Will Tear Us Apart Again: Joy Division)
Who are you to tell me who to be? (Hypocrates: MARINA)
I don’t want your gold. (Gold: MARINA)
If you don’t know that by now then you don’t know me that well. (Buy the Stars: MARINA)
You played the martyr for so long that you can’t do anything wrong (Hypocrates: MARINA)
Some things never do change (Cavanaugh Park: Something Corporate)
That’s the lesson that you teach me (Hypocrates: MARINA)
In some sad way I already knew (Like Real People Do: Hozier)
I tried to give reasons...a thousand good reasons (All of my Good Friends, Goodbye: Luke Temple)
And in the end we’ll fall apart (It’s Not a Fashion Statement, It’s a Deathwish: My Chemical Romance)
I’ve done everything I know to try to make you mine (Long Long Time: Linda Ronstadt)
I know that I shouldn’t even try. It’s a waste of time (Saw You in a Dream: Japanese House)
