Hearts We Never Had

You know it's pouring outside,

so I think we should stay in.

Maybe try to find a place to hide,

even though the fear comes from within.

 

Staring out these windows,

watching this sinful world outside.

I'm not really sure if it's something to embrace,

or just another reason to hide.

 

These lands have become so hated,

tainted so badly, they've become saturated.

It always makes me wonder "Why should I go outside?",

into this beautiful wasteland, this sinful world of mine.

 

Alone, and wet, I can see it now;

the end of the world was we know it.

I know I can't ask, but I still wonder how,

maybe it was the love we didn't show it.

 

I know that it is raining, but I think i'll step outside,

sit out on the porch, and look up at the orange skies.

It's stunning to see everything fall apart,

in this sinful world of mine.

Our world is really shining some brightness into our lives isn't it ?! Great job capturing how undesirable it has become. Love the first and last stanzas. "even though the fear comes from within." I loved this line at first and now Im re-reading it.. and i liked 'fear' but I'm not sure if I see how that relates to rain.
Perhaps change fear to rain.. so it reads
